I have a birthday coming up and Mrs. Island Brian says she will contribute to my "shaving thing". I am looking at scuttles and read much about the Dirty Bird, the Moss, the Georgetown and others. I found this interesting scuttle-as-art piece and am wondering whether anyone here has seen or tried it.
This is from the sales description (grammar in original except as noted): "The Bowl is the same great bowl we sell separately. Now the Scuttle is completely unique it is designed to keep your brush extremely hot it has a smaller bowl to give confined quarters to your brush and lather and completely surrounded by a great deal of hot water keeping all that great lather hot in the bowl [of the scuttle]. It is also taller to make reaching for it very easy. The concept is to mix in the bowl then place your brush loaded with great lather inside bowl [of the scuttle] to keep the brush and lather much hotter then your standard scuttle. The Bowl averages 4 inches at opening and 3 inches deep. The scuttle averages 8 inches tall with a bowl 2 inches deep and 3 inches wide with a tight slope." I was told that you fill the entire 8 inch "tower" with hot water.
I can see some disadvantages (how do you fit the darn thing under a typical bathroom sink faucet to fill it up; its a lot of water to dump every day; you can't pick it up and hold it while lathering), but it sure is cool looking. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing, but if its just not functional then fuggedaboudit.
Thoughts and comments?
THANKS
