Good morning all (this is my first post!)
I have been brush / DE shaving now for about 4 months. I use soap and lather on the face. I am loving it, but I have the impression that my lather is not as good as it could be. I was thinking about getting a Dirty Bird scuttle. However, I am confused about the brush scuttle vs. the shave scuttle!
It appears that the brush scuttle keeps your brush nice and warm, but presumably if you lather in the bowl then the lather goes cool. Is the assumption that all the excess lather not used on your face, stays on the brush and stays warm in the brush scuttle?
The shave scuttle clearly keeps the lather you have made warm in the bowl, but presumably does a less good job of keeping the brush warm as it is not enveloped in the scuttle like the brush scuttle.
Is my understanding correct? Does anyone have any experience of comparing the brush and shave scuttles? Does it make any difference if I use soap or cream?
Finally as I live in London, I was wondering if there are any British companies making anything similar to DirtyBird. I have found this one (http://www..................com/scuttle.html), but it is hard to tell if it is any good.
Thanks very much for your help.
