Just received my new Georgetown G20 Scuttle, It is awesome!!! Big scuttle, holds a lot of hot water, keep my lather nice and warm for three passes plus touchups.
Can you give us a report on how warm the lather feels -- I'm sure it's not super hot, but to a new user is more, less, or about what you expected in terms of transmitting heat into the lather?
The lather is super warm, not too hot. It does not break down the lather either.
Pre warming is the key while you are in the shower, then replace with more hot water and you will be good to go.
The lather sure does feel great!
Congrats on your new scuttle. I hope that it brings you many warm and luxurious shaves. I know I've enjoyed mine. Mine is Hamada and Blue, looks identical to Willionaire's. No pics this time around as I'm currently deployed but maybe when I get back. I really want the G12 now, but I'm very pleased with my G20 and don't think I can justify spending my loot on another scuttle.
OK, you got me! This is just what I've been looking for. Just ordered the Hamada & Persimmon color. Looks like the perfect size.
Added the following day: So I got to thinking, how else, until my scuttle arrives, can I keep my lather warm. I use a cup with the "Kiss My Face" shaving cream. That cream seems to lather better in a bowl than on my face. I tried the following: Heat the cup with hot water. Get everything ready to go and then add hot water in the sink. Set the lather cup in the hot water after you've whipped up the lather. That keeps it hot. Worked well. I know I'm going to like this scuttle when it arrives. Notified that it was shipped today. Hope to have it by this weekend.
