QSHAVE Shaving Scuttle Mug , Male Face Shaving Soap Bowl - Keep Lather Always Warm - Large Deep Size Bowl Handmade Pottery Cup , White

In the style of Nick Shabbaz, I’ll use his The Good, The Great, The Bad and The Ugly format for this review. I’ve used the scuttle for a month’s worth of shaves since I bought it and I chose the white model.Good:The price is reasonable and it’s good to find an accessible scuttle. They can be hard to find and expensive when you do find them.It arrived quickly and was very securely wrapped and packaged, in an attractive box with a cut to fit foam insert. So there’s little chance of it being damaged in transit.The size is larger than I expected but it does allow you to create enough lather for a multiple pass shave.Great:It’s very easy to use. Simply fill it up with warm / hot tap water in the inner lining and the bowl and you can use it to soak your shaving brush as well providing warm lather.The scuttle works best with softer soaps or shaving creams, such as TOBs or Trumpers. The ridges around the sides and the bobbles in the base, enable you easily to create a soft and warm creamy lather.I found it best to use a small or medium brush, so you can get to the soap or cream at the bottom of the scuttle.It does what it says. It warms your lather and keeps it warm, adding a luxurious feel to your shaves.You very quickly become used to having warm lather and it’s noticeable when your lather isn’t warm.Bad:The listing said that the scuttle would come with a cork stopper. It didn’t. Mine arrived with a white plastic stopper, which I actually prefer. However, for the price paid, I would have liked them to have included at least a couple of stoppers, which would not have added anything to the cost, just in case the one they send goes missing.Despite the bowl being quite large, using larger knotted brushes means you cannot easily reach the bottom of the scuttle. If you are using a brush larger than a 22mm knot, I’d recommend sticking to face lathering. Small brushes work really well however.For harder soaps, I’d suggest face lathering, as the scuttle despite the ribs and bobbles, is too smooth for it.I’m not a fan of having QShave in prominent black ink, permanently printed on the side of the scuttle. No need for it at all in my opinion.Ugly:There is only one ugly thing using this scuttle. When it’s full of water and you’re lathering up, it can be heavy, slippery and awkward to hold. The handle is made of quite thin porcelain and has no grips at all. Unless you lay the scuttle down on your sink top, or hold it with your thumb through the handle, there’s a good chance it could slip from your hands. Don’t hold it by the handle alone!Overall I really like it.

Good piece of equipment. Nice and large. Sturdy. Especially like the ridges to promote richer lathering. Easily makes enough for more than 3 passesOnly “issue”, water didn’t stay warm in scuttle as long as I expected, but that might be because I took my time. Easily sorted by wrapping scuttle in a towel.I’d recommend to anyone thinking of wet shaving.

This shaving mug was delivered ahead of time and was very nicely packaged. I have been using a plain mug to lather up some Tailor of old Bond street shaving cream, but for second passes, with my Merkur 38c DE, the cream was cold. I have used a heated scuttle before with straight razor shaving, but it's somewhere in storage, so I bought this one. I have to say, that it easily out performed my previous scuttle (which I thought was very good), and at the end of the second pass, the cream was still very comfortably warm on my face. The plug work's very well and the bowl is easy to use and hold with a solid handle. The groves help to lather up effortlessly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic product. The only reason I’ve given it a 4 star and not a 5, and I’m being picky, is that it arrived with a few chips in the paintwork and the fork has a habit of popping out due to the pressure created by the hot water steaming in the reservoir. Other than that, helps create a lovely warm lather for shaving (providing you use a decent quality shaving cream or soap). Especially helpful for those using straight razors or safety razors and going in for the smooth 3rd pass.

The bung kept popping out when filled so pushed it in but it went in the whole way and obviously now can't get it out. So now it's just a simple bowl and not a scuttle.

I have not had the opportunity to use this yet but it has exceeded my expectations. The scuttle has a nice solid feel and appears well finished better than the photo suggests. The only slight negative is the name on the side as I feel a nice logo would be more attractive but not a reason to be put off getting one. I would have liked to have got the black version but it is not an option at the present time. This is really an item to just enjoy using but not an essential purchase but I very happy with it. I have not found the silicon stopper to be too small like some other reviewers have commented.Update. I have now used this and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. I was was easily able to produce a very good lather without any undue effort. I put hot water in the scuttle and also in the bowl to soak the brush. I emptied the water from the bowl to mix the lather and it stayed hot enough for me to complete my shave without rushing.

I've found this to be very good build so far. I've read other reviews about people losing the plug in thd hole. My plug is impossible to push all the way in so it's fine. Our hot water is approximately 55°C and above and it keeps the lather nice and warm for a three pass straight razor shave. 5 stars all around from me.

Elegant beautiful environmentally friendly product exceptionally excellent high quality product helpful in daily shaving routine such a pleasure to use very durable will last for a long time elegant appearance in any bathroom and shave den bringing old retro feeling knowing using enough water in the scuttle will last as long as you need it to just a superb high quality product

Love it keeps shave cream workable for long periods of time.

Muy buen producto para que la espuma permanezca caliente, sólo que el agua debe de estar muy muy caliente para que este rica la espuma.

Ik gebruik de kom met warm water uit de kraan. Eenvoudig om scheerschuim te maken en het schuim voelt lekker warm aan. Helaas is er binnen 1 week al een barst over de gehele buitenzijde van de kom zichtbaar.Hopelijk blijft de scheerkom heel.Update 12-10-2022 - helaas is de buitenkan nu helemaal gebarsten. Zie foto

Aggiornata al 16-08-2021Premessa----------------------Sempre più felice dell'acquisto che mi ha rivoluzionato e facilitato il montaggio delle creme.Prodotto purtroppo made in cina ma secondo me di qualità discreta.La ciotola arriva in una confezione ben protetta, quindi non abbiate paura che possa rompersi durante il viaggio e soprattutto non osservate le foto dei tappi in sughero fatte dagli utenti perchè in dotazione c'e' solo il tappo di siliconePerchè comparla?----------------------Per due motivi:- Perchè vi facilità parecchio il montaggio.Con mezzo dito di crema, un buon pennello e questa scuttle farete dei montaggi superlativi con poca fatica.- Il secondo è che avendo la camera ad aria (in questo senso ad acqua) è possibile riempirla di acqua bollente che rende lo scioglimento della crema da barba ancor più rapido. Inoltre la ciotola farà da protezione termica rendendo la crema calda e sofficePunti negativi----------------------Purtroppo qualcuno c'e'- Per me è un po troppo piccola, inizialmente avevo problemi a montare per via del mio 31mm.Dopo non ho avuto più problemi ma in futuro valuterò anche l'acquisto di una più grandeAttenzione------------------------ La ciotola è bilanciata e non mi ritrovo con chi dice che non lo è.Va bene sia se la tenete per la maniglia e sia se l'appoggiate...Io non ho avuto problemi mettendo l'acqua bollente della fontana (che è molto calda) e non vi consiglio di metterla nel micro-onde perchè dopo dovete usare dei panni per tenerla con il rischio di romperla pure.Meglio scaldare un po d'acqua se non avete la possibilità dell'acqua bollente.Consiglio anche in estate di mettere l'acqua calda perchè non annulla gli effetti rinfrescanti di alcune creme e aumenta la facilità del montaggioSpero di esservi stato utile

le bol est protégé par un blindage en mousse, j'avais peur qu'il n'arrive pas en un seul morceau. vous pouvez y aller, le packaging est parfait, il assure réellement la survie de votre bol.Le bol est sublime, la double parois permet un maintien au chaud de la mousse.La présence des stries à l'intérieur du bol permet de bien faire monter sa mousse.Petit plus, le bouchon est en silicone, c'est propre et solide.
