    Currently have a DB 1.5 (not the new modified one) and LOVE it, but want to pick up a RB scuttle off eBay as a basement scuttle.

    he doesn't list them too often, but i hear he's great to deal with via email or thru ebay.

    for the price, they look great and i've heard great things about them.

    Great looking scuttle! I just looked at his ebay store and he doesn't have anything currently listed. I'll have to keep checking with him and maybe I'll have a cool looking scuttle added to my den too!

    He'll be out of the rotation for a while with some health issues.

    Can someone get in touch with him to see how he's doing? I tried finding his email through eBay but his store has been closed there. A google search only finds eBay or shaving forum references to his work. I'm very interested in adding a scuttle to my shaving hardware & don't want to make any decisions before I can look at all the options. I certainly hope he's doing better as he seems to be filling a huge void in the shaving world.

    Thanks!

    I E-Mailed Robert last evening and got a reply this morning. He's doing some better and no surgery for now. He's going on vacation for a week and will not be able to answer E-Mails till after Jul 16th.
    He has a web site now, I see some of it is still under construction but here is the link

    Hope this helps you guys.

    Good scuttle with some durability/quality issues.

    What issues? I've read nothing but positive about his products.

    No issues with mine. Excellent quality and it's about as durable as something very fragile of this nature would and should be. If you beat and bang it around, it's going to chip and crack. If you drop it, it's going to break into several pieces... just like any other ceramic or glass.

    I agree with Jody, I don't have a scuttle but do have a brush & shaver caddy from Bob, quality stuff as much so as our high priced china that we never use but looks pretty in the china cabinet.

    This is far-and-away the majority of reviews I've heard about him. Watching his new website very closely and see a purchase coming...soon.

    I now have two RAB scuttles and am very happy with both.

    Scuttle? Strop? Brush? New cream? Which one first?! Decisions, decisions....
