    That's a wonderful setup, Jason. I'm really enjoying my L'Orange Noir splash. I'll look at Arkadia at some point.

    I've thought about this in relation to the others using hot lather scuttles and the various artisans or manufacturers soaps we've seen cross the 30DC so far. Keith has run into a few products that don't work, so has Jim & Andrew, not sure with Patrick's results. I did also.

    I will say, for my tests so far, PAA is one of the best performing in the boiling water temperature range, very closely matching ToBS as well as Truefitt & Hill & Geo F Trumper. Coincidence that he also makes/sells scuttles? Not sure, but it's something I've pondered.

    ToBS, GFT, T&H and PAA when the scuttle has boiling water in it, damp brush overloaded, 1-2 teaspoons of water (bottom of scuttle bowl), makes a very bubbly, almost heavy whipping cream consistency concoction, very thin for a lather. Transfer to the face, and the mix is instantly transformed into a lather that's peaky, lots of volume, plenty of slick cushion. Add in the warmth, it's sublime. I do get better results with boar brushes versus badgers (which tend to hog the lather a bit). Keith and Jim may have enabled me to get an electric kettle for the bathroom to save a bit of time. Currently, I have to go to the kitchen, retrieve the water off the stove which adds a little time.

    When you aren't pressed for time, it's 50 degrees or less out.....a hot scuttle shave is a real treat!

    Minus the three inches rain and isolated tornadoes we're likely to see today?

    Yes! I recognize that weather and love that part of America. One of favorite drives is Las Vegas, NV to Monterey, CA via Bakersfield.

    Have a safe trip Joseph.

    Great shave and report Patrick. I am impressed the Proraso cream did so well with the heat.

    Beautiful shave and photo Blair. I hope to get the RA dialed in shortly. Great looking watch as well.

    Great looking shave. You really did well using your left hand. I am afraid I would have been a bloody mess.
