    …and we're talking three leisurely passes, too.
    I've often made WAY too much lather in a scuttle, finished my 3-passes & touch up, washed up, finished dressing, had another cup of coffee, and returned 20 minutes post-shave to still find the lather in the covered scuttle basin nice & warm. If your actual shave takes longer than 35-45 minutes, you may lose some lather warmth….;)

    You've inspired me to make my own.

    Sorry for not being around lately. Busted my phone and was on an ancient one for a while. As for the scuttle, I ended up with the brown one. I went for it because it was deeper but, I really liked the color of the other.

    I know he still had the first one I posted and can check on a price if needed, just pm me.

    Nice! I don't know if I would go with those colors, but it is kind of cool that he made something with functionality in mind on his first attempt. How much did he charge? I am curious as to how it would price to similar offerings by vendors.

    I think it was in the $35 range. Not 100% sure though.

    That is a really competitive price. If I haven't already got mine, I would have considered inquiring further.

    Here are a couple coffee mugs he done for me as well. The tree mug was from my wife for my Birthday, I bought her the other for Christmas.[​IMG]

    Wow, I like how those look. He is really good at creating those rustic looks like something you would find in the south west. At least that is the feel I get from them.

    A couple of years ago I tried the Phoenix Shaving Shatterproof Travel Scuttle.
    Light, fast, indestructible, and this resin helps spreading the heat very well.

    Now It's available the new version, in blue.

    But I'm more a FL shaver, so I prefer the brush scuttle.
    After seeing the Dirty Bird Pottery model, I've done a DIY version.
    V1, glass / glass: easy to make, not bad
