Savanna Scuttle Kit

First time user of this kind of product and I love the shave and feeling I get after using the scuttle and brush. It truly gives you a next level shave. Incredibly close and smooth and I’m using an everyday razor. I looked through a lot of reviews on different kinds/styles of bowls to hold the shaving puck and create the lather, and some reviews on this product about how the puck didn’t lather correctly or at all. I can tell you that those reviews were the result of user error. The first time I tried to make a lather it didn’t work at all and the reason was I did not soak the brush in water before using. I put the tea pot on and boil water then fill the scuttle and cork it, by the time I’m out of the shower the inside of the scuttle is really hot. I create the lather and spread it around the inside and let it sit for a few moments and “voila” nice hot shaving cream. If you’re on the fence about this product go ahead and pull the trigger, you won’t regret it…

Great idea, it works! I fill my water reservoir using hot water heated in the microwave. Hotter than tap water and does the job as meant to. The cup itself builds a great lather and stays warm for touching up after your initial shave. What I like about using this method is the newer conventional sensitive skin, extra ingredient shaving creams are usually thick, oily and messy. They eventually clogged my bathroom sink with all the oils in those new types of shaving creams. Taking apart my sink, I had to clear the black oily & greasy mess from the drain pipe. Didn't seem possible, but it happened. Using the saving soap is a dream, goes through the drain like soap should. And the big bonus is the great warm lather and shave. Should have done this years ago. Some old school methods are still best. Just shop around for the soap puck that best suits you.

It does the job of keeping the lather warm on my badger brush between shaving passes. The cork doesn't look like it is going to last very long, so I need to research getting some cork replacement plugs. I would have given this unit 5 stars, but the interior and exterior finish dulled from the shaving cream (Taylor of Old Bond Street) and even though I scrub it out each time after shaving, the finish no longer looks like new.I prefer straight razor shaving with warm lather, yet it essential to keep an expensive silver tip badger brush out of hot water or you could damage or prematurely wear it out. This unit allows you to keep the lathered brush warm and ready for use without endangering your brush...

Ok... So I have been wet shaving for years now, and I have to say that this Shaving Scuttle has renewed my love for wet shaving! First let me start with the quality. It is durable and feels great in your hand! The scuttle holds heat very well. Normally while I am brushing my teeth and combing my hair, I fill the scuttle up with hot water and soak my brush. Then I empty it out and get the foamiest lather that you can ever imagine! If you are really into the art of shaving, you know that a hot lather makes all the difference when it comes to getting a good quality shave!If you want to feel like you are getting a barbershop shave every morning, don't waste anymore time and buy this scuttle now. If you husband is into shaving, he will love you for this gift!

My wife bought me this shaving kit for Christmas. I was excited to get it because I had asked for it. The mug and the shave soap are great. I can't say the same for the brush. Less than a month into use and the brush has separated from the handle and the handle is starting to crack. For the price, I expected better quality.

So far I have only used the soap and scuttle itself but I have been impressed by the quality of both it and the other items that I received. I was given this set as a Christmas gift because I decided a year ago that I wanted to switch to a safety razor or straight razor from the disposable and electric razors I had always used before. It also seemed to me that the disposable razor quality had gone down hill over the years and you can't get a close shave with an electric. While this and other products by this company seem a bit expensive, they also seem well worth the price and will save money in the long run.
