News from Georgetown Scuttles

Georgetown G3 Scuttles

Can anyone tell me anything about the new G3 shaving scuttles form Georgetown Pottery? Such as the inside dimensions and size of opening where hot water is added to heat the scuttle. What is the main difference between this new G3 scuttle and the old ones? -patrick

 

take a look here for G3 stuff

 

I just ordered one from Lori but the price is now $42 + 8 + 3

 

I just spoke to Lori yesterday about my G3. It is drying now, and will go into the oven next week. That puts me getting it in about two more weeks. When I comes in I will post a few pics for you fellas. It is cobalt and purple, tighter ring pattern, and a lid!

 

I know mine has been painted, but I haven't heard anything since...

 

Yes it is. I requested that the inner rings be spaced tighter together to allow for quicker lather creation. The lid was a new one on Lori. I requested a dome shaped lid that is flush with the scuttle on all edges, including the spout. The inner dimension of the lid is about two inches tall. That should be high enough to put the lid on with my brush still in the scuttle. The overall heat retention should be much better with a lid. Plus, I think it will look nicer with a lid. Like I told my wife when she commented on the extra cost. I want a lid!!!

 

Please post some photos of your scuttle with the lid when it arrives, sounds like a great idea :happy005 Congrats!

 

I plan on doing a spread of pictures of the scuttle once it arrives. It will still be a couple, Long, agonizing weeks until it is delivered though.

 

This new scuttle sounds very promising

 

Cover up that scuttle-butt.

The only improvement that I will have to make myself is to the bottom. I was not aware until recently that the bottom of the scuttle is bare ceramic.

The local Pep Boys sells a "Rhino Liner" type spray that will bond to almost anything. I layered about five to eight coats on the bottom of an old ceramic mug with fantastic results. This should make a nice, durable, non-skid surface that will not damage the sink or countertops. It will also keep the scuttle from sliding around.

Hopefully, GTP will offer some of the wonderful additions us crazy wet-shavers have requested as standard options sometime in the future.

 

That is an EXCELLENT idea and implementation!! Thx for passing along!

welcome to the forums!

 

I picked mine up from GTP sometime December, and had the same concerns about the abrasive bottom. My solution was to pick up a tile sized granite (or corian) sample from Home Depot. It comes with tiny rubber feet attached at the corners. Usually free, or a couple of dollars in your choice of color.

 

In a variation of what RayG did, I went to the hardware store to get a pack of those rubbery adhesive pads. (I usually use those pads at the bottom corners of frames so they don't scratch my walls.) I attached 3 pads to the bottom of my G3 scuttle, and they've worked fine the past couple of weeks.

 

Hey fellas, it 's here!! Check out my post in "The Haul" for pictures.

 

Non-slip "Rhino-Liner" type coating.

For those who were interested, this is how the coating looks on the scuttle. I also masked up the lid and put four coats on the rim of it to provide a more positive bond to the scuttle. The rubberized coating is completely non-slip, and has already endured a run through the dishwasher!!
