Luxury Ivory Shaving Scuttle Made in England

I bragged so much about my new scuttle a friend of mine bought one too.
I started buying shave supplies from Classic Edge when they were in Hamilton Ontario Canada and still stay loyal even though the are currently over one hour drive from me .

Thanks You Phil

I am an avid collector and user of many types of shave mugs and scuttles. I have many ceramic units made by Sara Bonneyman, Dirty Bird and others. Some have a “weep hole” drilled into the inside bowl to allow trickling water into the forming lather and others do not. The key to wet shaving besides water and brushes is a warm lather. This can be accomplished by using hot tap water or preheated kettle water and adding into the scuttle outside reservoir in order to keep the lather hot. I like to use an inexpensive immersion heated added into the hole of this excellent Classic Edge Scuttle as pictured. I start with hot tap water about 135º F and then insert the heater into the brush hole. A few minutes later the outer bowl is just under boiling where I then remove and unplug the heater. The water stays hot very long for an excellent shave. This is a beautiful scuttle and works great

This scuttle has some of the charm of days gone by. If you pre heat both chambers for five minutes with hot tap water then dump and refill the inside chamber you have no problem getting a three pass shave. I use coffee maker water for the second warm up. Im sure many scuttles work fine but this one for me is a bit more unique. Again the people you deal with at CE will treat you like family. .

After taking up wet shaving about 2 years ago using my fathers old Gillette and tube creams, I have slowly added to the collection a variety of soaps, creams, brushes and DE razors. What I did not realize I had been missing was the true enjoyment of warm, slick lather! 2 to 3 weeks on now, and although I thought never to look forward to shaving each day, the use of this scuttle has made all the difference. Simply heated by hot tap water and left to warm while one goes through the pre-shave routine, then replace the water with fresh hot, grab the favorite brush and swirl till smooth and silky...easily warms the lather to the extent that the 3rd application for touch up is as comfortable and enjoyable as the initial application. Would recommend this product every time to anyone asking- it may sit idle during the hot humid months, but come fall...yes!

Purchase this about 7 years ago . I shave my head and face every day until I dropped it this week . Small crack but I will be ordering another ASAP ! Great product and highly recommend . Nothing better then heated shaving soap!
