A shaving scuttle is a double-walled, ceramic bowl used to keep soap lather warm and ready for multiple passes. It is used by filling the bottom bowl with hot water and building a thick soap/cream lather in the upper bowl. The normal material used in a scuttle is ceramic, which has great thermal properties. Some scuttles can also have a wide enough opening so that your shaving brush can also be kept warm and wet with the water in the bottom, but this is less common. Shaving scuttles are made by various manufacturers and potters, and they can vary significantly based on the potters designs and style.
Positive aspects of using a shaving scuttle include:
- Warm lather: A scuttle mug helps to keep the lather warm, which can make for a more luxurious and comforting shaving experience.
- Thick lather: The heat from the water and any inner grooves in the bowl can help create a thicker lather.
- Prevents razor burns: The warm foam from a scuttle can help prevent razor burns and keep your skin moisturized.
