Thanks to Randy Tuttle for bringing up the fact that the Lynn Abrams Straight Razor Shaving Video should be posted here.
Interested in a straight, or want to see how the "Honemeister" himself shaves with a straight?

Scuttle Howto By Chris Moss:
1. The inner bowl and outer reservoir are filled with hot water:
2. The brush is allowed to soak in the hot water in the inner bowl while prepping the face:
3. The scuttle is emptied, and this time only the outer reservoir is filled with hot water:
4. The brush is shaken to remove excess water, and a dab of cream added:
5. The lather is whipped up, and keeps warm between passes as it sits in the heated inner bowl:
Easy!

Since the pot is ceramic, it could handle boiling water. However, this is just likely to dry out your lather. What I do is pre-warm my scuttle with hot tap water and then take a shower. Then I empty it and refill it before the shave. The lather stays warm enough.wrath186 wrote:Question about the scuttle. Can you use boiling water in it or would that crack it?

Too bad the photos are boogered in the 2 year old posts. Probably can't be fixed. Oh well. Maybe somebody will take some new ones, and post them! I don't have one of those type scuttles, or I'd have already done it.
