Lathering in a scuttle

[LMAN007]

I expect my RB scuttle anyday now and I would like to ask a question on the proper way of lathering in the bowl. My routine would be to fill the chamber and lathering bowl with hot tap water,doing this to warm up the SCUTTLE.
Then proceed to my preshave routine, after which I will empty the water from both chamber and bowl, then add hot tap water to chamber only. My question is, do I create lather in the lathering bowl (soap or cream) after dumping out the
water from the chamber and bowl, or do I create the lather right after adding the water to the chamber the second time?

Create the lather in the scuttle, after you refill the OUTTER reservoir.​

Mine just sits on a face cloth and doesn't move. I don't hold it to lather, it has enough weight. Depending on how big and heavy it is, you may just need to hold th handle so it doesn't hit the floor.

I have the G20 and find that it gets too hot if I fill the reservoir twice and the lather dries out. I fill both the reservoir and bowl, let the brush soak while I showed. I then dump the lather bowl and make lather. YMMV depending on your water temp and scuttle size. If you are going to dump and refill the reservoir, do it prior to making your lather.

Just an addition to the 2 posts above, you put your brush in the bowl so the brush soaks and warms up. Then re-fill the reservoir and make your lather. If the lather starts drying, your water is too hot.

I also have a G20 and I empty and refill it with hot water. My first fill heats up the cool ceramic of the scuttle and my second fill ensures that my scuttle remains warm for an extended period of time. The trick for me is finding the best creams that don't break down from the heat. If I use my scuttle I am aiming for nice warm lather for all of my passes.

Thanks guys for the input, can't wait to try out my new scuttle!

Same experience here, I only fill once.
