I love my shaving scuttle from GP, they are on sale today as one of the 12 Days of Christmas deals.

Good stuff

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve been wanting one of these.

Thanks, just ordered a G20!!!

Never had a scuttle. Love the idea. Does it make a functional difference between the 12 and 20 oz models?

I’ve only used the 20, 12 seemed a little small for me

I have a 12 oz. "second" that I bought over a year ago after a similar post by 911Boss. The blemish is hard to find.

I'm fine w/ the 12 oz. but I admit I don't bowl lather much w/ it. I'm a face latherer. The only time I bowl lather is when I use cream (I'm a shave soap guy. I build lather on the soap and then go straight to the face).

My main use is just to keep my lathered brush warm during the 2 passes on my head and 3 passes on my face which, during winter, w/ a cracked open window for steam exhaust, requires me to cover my brush in the scuttle w/ a saucer while I shave. I have a 20mm finest badger knot w/ a short handle, it fits in the scuttle bowl under a domed saucer.

I fill the 12 oz.'er w/ hot water before I shower to preheat and then refill again just before I shave.
The bowl holds 12 oz. as does the inner fill area. Refilling both w/ hot water again just before my shave does the trick for winter shaving. This scuttle works way better than my previous method to keep warm lather available.
