That Doug Smith is an artist as well... wow.
AMEN!I sense willpower being tested. This forum is dangerous
Yeah, that is gorgeous.
Thank you.
I have a brush scuttle, a very generous gift from a member when I first joined. I've never got the hang of it.
I started with a very large scuttle which was great for heat - for some lathers too great. I now use a Georgetown G12. It's small enough to hold in my left hand while building lather (which allows me to angle the whole process in a way that pleases my right wrist).
It's beautiful and does a great job. Know that you will definitely loose some heat in a scuttle with no stopper for the opening. Years ago I did an experiment and it was along the lines of 10 degrees while in use - maybe nothing that bothers you.

I have thought of getting a scuttle. I have never tried one. There are some nice ones on here.

Today I used my Vander Haagen shave mug to get warm lather. It was heavy enough to submerge in water instead of floating in the surface. It was a little to difficult in because the base is not very wide, but it produced the best lather I have ever had. I actually got that creamy yogurt density, and the warm lather really made a difference in my shave. However, since it was in my sink it made it difficult to rinse my blade in between strokes, and the narrow base made it more difficult to lather. Thank you guys for all of your suggestions.
I use a Georgetown scuttle. Sometimes I lather in it, sometimes I keep my brush in it when I face lather to keep it warm. Works great either way.
I have a scuttle from PAA, that’s huge. Im not sure that it’s appreciably warmer lather than my Etsy ceramic bowl after some good hot water.
Someone on the forum suggested putting your bowl on an electric mug warmer. I’m not sure that having a Chinese made electrical doo-dad sitting next to my sink is the best idea...but my sink area is rather compact.

I use a set of stoneware bowls from the local Korean supermarket. The smaller one sits on top of the larger one. Same principlee as a scuttle, but more compact.
I am surprised no one mentioned the Moss Scuttle by Sara Bonnyman Pottery. Her and Dr. Chris Moss invented the modern scuttle.
Dr. Moss face lathers with creams and uses the original small scuttle to warm the brush, cream, and a little water before and between lathering.

I did, saying I wanted a small one.

Some great options: especially in winter when a warm lather is heavenly!! 
Interesting info. I just got into bowl lathering after strictly face lathering for many years. I can build a much better lather in the bowl. I like a scuttle large enough to build the lather in.I am surprised no one mentioned the Moss Scuttle by Sara Bonnyman Pottery. Her and Dr. Chris Moss invented the modern scuttle.
