just thought i would show a picture of my new scuttle from potter Steve Woodhead...i asked Steve if he made scuttles as i found none available in the Uk to buy. i saw some of his work on ebay and he has generously obliged.
Altho still waiting delivery i am excited to see it in the flesh...Steve can be contacted at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:steve.woodhead@yahoo.com">steve.woodhead@yahoo.com</a><!-- e --> if anyone is interested
he also has designed 2 mugs as well to run along with this...i also suggested he makes a soap dish for grating sticks of tabac into (i have sent off 9 sticks this last week and awaiting more to come)
Sorry about the pictures if too much to handle
prices for these
Shaving Mug/bowl 10cm x 7 cm £12 + p&p
Funky Mug/bowl 10cm x 8 cm £15 + p&p - the feet are great to cup in the hand for a firm grip
Shaving scuttle 11cm wide £30 + p&p
i like the idea he is uk based...delivery is very quick as i have had stuff before...give him a try and buy British
an update he has just listed one on ebay number 270544460823
Thanks for posting. It's nice to be able to support our local potters. I have just ordered a lathering bowl locally about which I have posted elsewhere.
yes, thanks for throwing more temptation my way. still, mrs m only said no more razors this month - muwha ha ha!
no seriously though, am attracted by the thought of warm lather through out the shave, but was a bit put off by the fact a that lot of this gear is only available through import (DB etc..)
well just road tested this piece of kit....used hot water from tap...sort of water that hurts after 3 ...4 seconds
used CE Sienna soap using r/l swirls to fill brush Semogue as in picture ( man i luv this brush)...a few drops of more hot added to bowl and walla tons of warm lather
1 quick swipe with d89l and re applied...still nice and warm...same again another swipe
dont usually do 3 passes...but still plenty of warm lather...this is my first scuttle but very pleasurable imho
These look really good. My Mrs. has said I can have one for my impending birthday but I don't know whether I should go for the Shave Bowl or the Scuttle?
I'm not sure that I would use or need the scuttle but the bowl would be a definite step-up from the soup bowl I currently use :lol:
