The Shaving Scuttle - A Second Look

Product: Georgetown G20
Inventor: Dr. Chris Moss
First One Created by Sara Bonnyman Pottery
Update 3 years later
I never saw one until I started to wet shaving a few years ago. I couldn’t figure out what the heck it was let alone what it did but I knew everyone was very excited and wanted one. I wrote about this experience on March 26, 2015, here is the link tinyurl.com/yc... It describes my first encounter with a Shaving Scuttle. Since then we’ve seen many artisans try to create their own version of the famous scuttle. Some good and have made improvements over the original others are just me too copies but I’ll let you decide which ones on your own. For me, the Georgetown G20 has it all but the one caveat is this will break when dropped and its surprisingly heavy. I keep mine under the sink for when I feel like a hot lather shave.
I should use this more but I don’t, I bowl lather most the of the time and frankly never really think about it as much as I didn’t before. At the time of my purchase, there was a wait because of a fire which stopped production of them and they are so popular you’ll always find some of them out of stock. Mine was around $65.00 so it's not cheap they do have a smaller version called the G5 which will lower the price. If you feel like the pottery thing is just not your style them, we have some artisans making them out of PETG plastic which is a good alternative to the issues of breakage, portability, weight, and price.
Here is a list of some of the location where you might be able to pick up of for yourself:

Decent info, great scuttle........ but no offense, atrocious intro music. Kinda out of place in a video about old school shaving.
But it's old School shaving in 2018! should I play 1950 style do-whop music? - lol Tell me what would you play?
@@MrDonXX Satanica😈
Change the music from this electronic, computer crap to real Rock & roll....please! Otherwise, great video!
I stopped that a while ago I use JAzz and Blues now I find Rock & Roll not really allowed if it's copyrighted so ...
Donald Youngner Jazz & especially blues is totally appropriate. I am fully aware of the silly copyright thing with Rock. I think I am going to pick up a Georgetown second. I think the Qshave would work, but I really like the U.S. Handmade idea of Georgetown. Plus it's a beautiful looking mug.
It's his own video and he can play whatever he wants. Who the hell are you?
I despise cold lather just like I had this morning, I’ve been face lathering just to avoid cold lather. I guess I am ready for a scuttle. Awesome lather man.
Thanks for watching Willy, Once you try a scuttle and experience the hot lather you're going to be hooked I'm sure of it.Have a great weekend.
I know exactly how you feel. I just started my DE shaving journey a month ago, and I have been bowl lathering. And while I absolutely love my lathering bowl, what I don't like is how my lather gets cold! I have been looking at scuttles for a month, finally ordered one. I enjoy a good face lather, I just want it to be warm lol.
That is so much soap you are using. It's way, way, way too much.
The thing about my videos is they are not tutorials so I'm not saying to do it this way you can place as little soap in the bowl as you like I have been shaving like this for over 40 years it's the way I do things.
Why did you waste so much water? And the music literally scared me, it's best not to put any in
*_you realize this is two years old if you are so concerned you should have........ hold on I have the water running since 5 this morning - lol_*
@@MrDonXX Yes, i recognize this video is 2 years old, but that doesn't make it right. Also you didn't do multiple passes at the time?
I've been using a shuttle for years.
holy batman that's a lot of soap you chucked in there!
Yup I'm known for using lots of soap but it seemed to work out, Thanks for watching Bill P.S> since I make The Quiet Man shaving soap its no big deal for me to use a lot- lol
No disrespect but you could play a super penguin and kick batmans ass after that shave 😂
Well, its not the nicest thing that someone has said to me but I'm sure you meant well - thanks for watching
Nice scuttle Don. I used to have a nice antique bowl with twin handles but sadly it suffered from depression. One day during a shave it leapt from my hand throwing itself on the sink corner then the floor ending its life. Now I have plastic.
Abe, I understand plastic sometimes is a better bet
Hi Don- Nice shave and demonstration using your shave scuttle. The lather was fantastic, and I can only imagine how it felt being warm! Have a great start to your week and all the best!
Thank Mike you to have a great new week and see you next time
I got one of those scuttles. Absolutely amazing. I have one almost exactly like yours but white and bought a wood cork vs the rubber one it comes with. I also have an Old Spice shaving mug I use in tandem. 1st I prep the scuttle. 2nd I wet the shaving brush and soap it up in the shaving mug (which has a shaving soap puck). Then I hit the scuttle and it really lathers up. After the shave, I take the excess shaving cream/lather from the scuttle and brush and scoop it up and place it in the shaving mug. Rinse and clean the scuttle and brush. The soap lather/cream excess in the shaving mugs dries into the mug but is easily reused in the next shave following the same procedure. Waste not, what not....
100% and thanks for the Scuttle mug tips - All the best my friend
Do you still use the scuttle often or is collecting dust???
To be honest its collecting a little dust Thanks for watching. At first I used it all the time but the novelty wares off pretty quickly
Another enjoyable video. I've always been on the fence about scuttles, first because I tend to face lather and also because living on the Texas coast it is so hot most of the year. Your soap performed like a champ.
Patrick Wroblewski hey I was to at first but I love my scuttle and it’s better than a normal lather bowl
Did you make that much foam on purpose? feel like it’s a big waste
*_no I have been shaving like this for over 40 years this is not a tutorial on how to shave you shave the way that's right for you._*
@@MrDonXX oh ok it just looked like a lot of waste!
Outstanding shave & video Don. That warm lather also feels good in any condition & you had enough to shave 40+ people. This was way better than last week's shave for sure.
Thank goodness for that Stephen thanks for watching my firend and i'll see younext week.
Older video but just wanted to comment. I love my GP 20 scuttle. I use hot water in the winter and cold water in the summer.
I never thought of cold water in the summer nice tip Thanks for watching William
Nice vid, mate. No one could ever accuse you of being mean with the soap. You're quick with that razor too to the extent that I thought you had speeded up the video!
Yes, I have been told that before its just the way I have been shaving for over 40 years now thanks for watching you should see the video when it 2x faster - lol
@@MrDonXX I don't think my eyes would be able to keep up! Thanks for all the vids. Please keep posting them.
A scuttle will do the Job when I was younger it was a great thing to get a hot shave from the Lather Machine great shave Don have a good one ☝️ friend love the Jam !
Hi Don. Excellent shave. Was wondering if there were good ridges in the inner bowl of the scuttle? Kind of hard to tell. Thank you.
Yes, Brian a decent amount at the time now I think they even added more on the sides. Thanks for watching see ya next week.
I use a dollar tree mug and bowl works great.
I love it!! Post the ones you use would love to see them
lols im just commenting as i watch but what a lather
Yes scuttles work great for producing great lather thanks for watching John
Complimenti per la bellissima ciotola👍 la quale ha prodotto una fantastica crema che sembrava una maionese TOP
Ciao e alla prossima sbarbata
sei così divertente. Lo scuttle è un modo fantastico per avere una schiuma calda che i miei saponi fanno schiuma abbastanza bene se lo dico anch'io. Ti auguro una settimana meravigliosa la prossima volta, amico mio.
Thanks for a great video. I could never shave as fast as you. Wow. I'd have lacerations all over my cheeks and chin. I'm a scuttle user though. Love it.
*Thanks for watching Steven, I have been shaving like this for over 40 years and not once did I think I was going fast until I started a youTube channel and getting responses like yours - lol What allows me to go fast like this is two things I really know my face and what direction my beard grows in and the second is the OCCams Razor Enhanced Nanon or O.R.E.N I use*
What a beautiful scuttle!
Thanks, it is but heavy and a little big. I don't use it like I thought I would because of those reasons.
What kind of brush is that?!
That my friend is a Zen Shave brush you can see how it was created right here - th-cam.com/video/-noGSAaovs0/w-d-xo.html
Don, that was a monster lather, you could've washed your car with what was left. I'm always amazed by the size of your brush too. It's bigger than the one I sweep my yard with!😁
Well I should use the scuttle more often it such a great shave thanks for watching Nick
@@MrDonXX Don, you do great videos, the music is always awesome and you actually focus on the lathering and in my opinion, a great lather makes a great shave. Keep it up man
Ive stopped using hot water during shaves, but this makes me want a scuttle! Great shave, Don!
Tanks Chris see you next week and thanks for watching
The Quiet Man is a great John Wayne movie
I can't agree more its one I watch all the time and always on St Patricks Day thanks for watching John
Awesome shave and awesome scuttle brother!!!!!
thanks for the kind words Joey
Fantastic video I like it your video.
Vďaka za watchinng
Donald Youngner Always, vždy.
Nice video Mr. Younger. I too have a Georgetown pottery scuttle. I love it I use it every shave. A little suggestion try holding the scuttle under hot running water to heat up the entire scuttle before putting water in the reservoir. Stay warmer a little longer.
Thanks a wonderful Idea I should use mine more but my lack of time in the den it why I need to have my private shave time -lol thanks for watching
The speed of that cut made me nervous but you are truly a professional.
Thanks for watching Rio, and thank you for the kind words but I've just had a lot of practice which makes it easy to know every inch of the face and knowing how your beard grows helps as well.
Nice shave, enjoy your weekend.
U too my friend
I have a scuttle, but rarely use it. Great shave Don. The Quiet Man soap is awesome.
thanks, Warren see ya next week.
Ive been wanting the Georgetown scutte, but everytime a ceramic piece enters my shave den it is broken on the ground within 6-months. Insert sad face here.
Check the links for some alternatives to ceramic
On my one, the stopper keeps popping out. I hate it as it ruins the lather. It's not the same one though.
This scuttle was perfect the day I purchased it and still to this day with no problems or corrections to the construction
That is a nice looking piece of gear I did not know I needed in my life. Great vid, looks like a super shave.
I don't use it often enough but when I do it a wonderful thing. Thanks for watching Axeral23
The first shaving soap I’ve ever bought was “The Quite Man”! Love it!
*_Thanks for watching and I'm honored that one of my products started your wet shaving journey_*
Well, I can't buy the quiet man, because I am anything but quiet. 😝
LOL
do you have problems with the brish falling apart. i guess mine is a few years old but it was just one of those van husen , van somethin. the one you can get at walmart or Target.
Beautiful Scuttle Don! soap very nice! Good weekend!
Thanks, Marco you have a good weekend as well.
You make it look so easy man.
All you need to do it keep trying you can do this thanks for watching
Hey don I just wanted to say that I love my scuttle I use it every time I shave I have the crown king scuttle
I hear good things about that scuttle although it did have issues with the stopper if i'm not mistaken when it was first released but I think they have fixed this issue
Donald Youngner I didn’t know which one I wanted to get so I got the crown king scuttle I want another one
What brush is that?
This is my favorite brush which I had custom made from Zen Shave here is how it was put together - th-cam.com/video/-noGSAaovs0/w-d-xo.html

Nice video.Please tell me the name of the song in the beginning.

Thanks 😉
lolz all this then safety razor oh well. i was hoping for a straight
i like to see everybody’s style i guess.
@@Sproutt understood I was big into straights a while back and the prep and care for them was just something I didn't feel like doing personally but I might use them again who knows.
@@MrDonXX so much faster with safety razor though you just went for it ha. But I still new to razors and the honing is a process to gut it to work right. I'm no expert yet but I dont mind it. Great video thought. I think also that the hot hit water is an east coast thing if you gas a natural gas set up. I'm out in Arizona and our water with these energy conserving set ups just dont get nearly as hot. I went to Canada and I almost burned myself ha. Here in AZ at least at my house just crank it all the way and it's good. But it's not constant. I'm sure there's maybe a way to turn up the settings but it cost $ because it still takes time to heat I would think. Like an electric kettle which for me might be the way to go.
I have that exact one👍
It's awesome Right! love that scuttle, should use it more often Thanks fr watching.
About what percentage of the time do you use yours? I see it has been 3 years since you made the video. Italian Barber has one for $18. The ones in the links are $65 to $80. Maybe, you should pick up a couple, for when you drop yours, you'll have a spare.
*_I don't use mine as much as I should because I do reviews all the time but I'm glad I purchased mine the investment for me was worth it but if you feel you just want to try then get the one that $18 i just like the way mine looks and performs._*
@@MrDonXX Do you think most of these TH-camrs have a ton of money or are they broke or in debt? They really spend a lot of money on this stuff? How would you ask them, if you wanted to be delicate.? Have you heard of anyone getting a cheap brush for abuse and creating lather to save wear and tear on their good brush? I wonders if I invented the idea.
"Just look at it!"
OK
Nothing like hot lather. Love my scuttle
It is amazing Anthony how wonderful you can feel after a hot lather shave. Thanks for watching.
I have this scuttle and I love it during the winter times. But its too hot for summer months here in Vegas! I need to try the soap!
Mack that is a perfectly reasonable explanation of why now to use a scuttle - lol Regarding my shaving soap it's one of our best sellers. Thanks for watching and see you next time.
@@MrDonXX i would like to try your shaving soap too. Please send me the website link.

Bahahaha!! Yeah I suppose some ol doo-wop would work. Solid video, bud. No criticism really intended. Just seem to hear that same generic techno track on a thousand videos. Not a fan personally. Always wondered where it comes from. Some store for stock video music, like stock photos......
I have tried to include some really nice music but TH-cam attacks me for copyright all the time so it better to stay with stuff that you're allowed to use. I get my stuff from a variety of places and the offering is ok at best. I'll keep trying to spice it up but the pickings are slim.
6:16 to 6:33 Don’t waste water
*_Thanks for watching yes I let the water run a little long but I don't think it warrants a warning of don't wastewater._* *_but I guess when you have nothing to do this is a good start to see if a comment get a response_* *_Let me know what happens when you take showers do you collect all the water you waste doing that or does that go down the drain- lol_*
Donald Youngner Does your mother know you post lengthy, asinine comments on TH-cam?
