Shaving With My Scuttle!

  • Today I bring out my G20 Georgetown Pottery Scuttle. The G20 is the size and it's the biggest one they make 20oz. What made me think of using this was the feeling to have a hot shave with eucalyptus namely my Mr. Warlock shaving soap a favorite of so many. Some only use it for the holiday season others, well, they use it all year long.
    The scuttle is a strange wet shaving tool. This one is big, bulky, and heavy. The way a scuttle works is pretty simple it works by transferring the heat from hot water added to the inside of the scuttles reservoir causing whatever is in its cup to be heated. You place your soap or cream inside the cup and start slowly building up to an amazing hot rich lather.
    Making lather is not that hard in a scuttle but if you are used to a wide shaving bowl it just not going to happen with a scuttle, Most of them are smaller due to the nature of how a scuttle is made so lathering will be more like beating eggs in a small bowl it's differently doable.
    When I applied the lather with my brush it truly was heaven with the hot eucalyptus scent filling the den and that refreshing feeling on my face it has to be one of the best shaving experiences.
    Also in today's RUclips video, I talk about a few Netflix and other Movies I've seen such as The Menu, The Pale Blue Eye, Glass Onion, The Banshees of Inisherin, and White Noise
    So that's all I have for this week
    As always be kind to one another

    FAQ - Hey! what’s that razor you always use? It’s called Occam’s Razor Enhanced-Nano or O.R.E.N for short. I was a backer on Kickstarter and got in as an early bird for $45.00. then it was released to the public for 125.00 During COVID it got up to $225.00 due to shipping issues to and from China. Remember the one I have is the O.R.E.N it has a hollow handle. As of this writing, they have none in stock. www.classicsha...

    Excellent shave. Spoken as someone who has too much crap, I don't know why I don't own a scuttle. Pale Blue Eye was a terrific movie. The Menu is saved to be watched soon. Glass Onion was also very entertaining.

    Great shave, I agree, Skuttles don't get used as often as they should. If a friend says "I don't want to hang out with you anymore" rest assured he has a new woman in his life that had told them they can't hang out with you anymore.

    Beautiful scuttle! I’ve grown out my beard for several months, and I bought the oil and the balms with the fancy beard comb and brush. However I didn’t like it. I shaved it all off, and I felt great! Then I realized I can get back to my shaving RUclips videos. I watch a lot, but you sir have the best videos! I’m glad I’m back to shaving. I’m sure a beard looks better on me since I’m overweight and carry it in my face, but I don’t care! Lol I miss shaving and now I’m going to buy some WTF product’s because it’s been a long time!!

      @MrDonXX  2 года назад

      Well thank you for the kind words and Welcome back we missed you. I once didn't shave for two weeks and my dry cleaner told me I was putting on weight so I know having a beard makes you appear heavier than you are. We released some new products since you have been away so take a look online. Thanks for watching

    Wow…Don…the amount of soap you used was unreal. I’m guessing it was about 3 or 4 times the amount I use in my “Fine” shaving bowl. I use about an almond size amount and it’s more than enough to do three passes and some touch-ups….usually Proraso tube cream.

    • @MrDonXX
      @MrDonXX  Год назад +1

      You do undertand that I make my own shaving soaps right? Can you imagine how many of them I have at hand? The amount I use is really a preference for each individual if someone want you use more than me I say be my guest. Someone who does not have the ability to have so many shaving soaps at had would naturally be more conservative.

      @@MrDonXX Well Sir…..if you make your own soaps….just go overboard on the amount you use. I was just viewing as a poor schlup….who sees $20+ prices for some of these soaps…..and is frugal about making them last as long as possible.

    You always manage a close shave...scuttle or not. Cold water shaves in the summer and hot water shaves in the winter. I usually face lather but I can heat up my copper bowl when I get the urge for some warmer lather. Hope all is well.

    My Scuttles under the sink currently for our Summer months but like getting it out for a warm lather shave every now and then. Normally I'm a warm water shaver irrespective of season. That Eucalyptus soap would be great clearing the nose in the cooler months. Take care and keep safe.👍🤠

    Excellent shave as usual Don. Hot lather shaves are the best if you want to put up with the slight inconvenience. I don't know how you get everything and as close as you do in 1 pass. It drives me crazy. I've seen White Noise and it was decent.
