If you never used a scuttle in one post, and then say that a sink is the same thing.....then it sounds like you know everything you need to know! But if you like HOT lather, I would recommend this crock pot. :ashamed001
Jaykay, The crock pot IS ceramic, and my crock pot is meant for whatever creative use that my mind can conceive of.
Its a great idea, but, at the moment, I share space with SWMBO. She's POed enough (not to mention the eye rolling in general) - notice she was not Oed in that case - with the fact that I've taken over one her shelves for my shave stuff. This would be too much. Maybe when I have my own bathroom. Jordan
Here is what I use for a "scuttle". Only I found it at a yard sale for $1.50.http://www.shopwiki.com/detail/d=Chantal_Glossy_Indigo_Blue_Tea_Mug_with_Infuser/jumpToFirst=t/ It is meant to brew tea but it holds a brush just as good as a tea bag.
It works great. At first I fill it all the way up and soak the brush. Then after I prep and load the brush with soap, I refill it to just below the insert. It seems to hold the heat fine and is easy to clean.
I checked Wally World . . . they have one that's absolutely perfect -- a little sauce warmer! Unfortunately, it's a premium in the same box as a larger thirty-dollar model, and not sold alone . . . *pouts*
I don't think that's a good idea either. Definitely, Steven, I can't imagine now not having warm lather for my typical 3 pass-shave.
Ok, I read this and was extremely intrigued. I got a small pot at a second hand store for 4 bucks and I've tried using it on two occasions. The lather keeps drying up and I can't seem to keep it from getting thick and difficult to apply. Now I don't have an ability to regulate the temperature but I did heat it up and then unplug it the second time around so there wasn't constant heat. That didn't help the situation. It was a good idea but I can't seem to make it work. A
what about a candle warmer? http://www.makesnaturalscents.com/Candle Accessories.htm seems like it would do just as well. it might get a little hot not sure....i have one but havent thought about using it until i saw this thread. :happy102
