A Shaving Scuttle is the most wonderful addition to any guy’s morning shave routine.

You’ve probably seen those expensive lathering machines.

These can be quite expensive. Well, at least, the really good units are expensive.   And then there’s the need for electricity, proper care and maintenance, etc.

I’m not discouraging you from buying one. These professional level units are convenient and do a great job of providing you with a wonderful hot lather for your morning shave.  They’re required equipment  in barbershops.   If you have the money, by all means, have at it.  It all depends on your budget and personal needs.

Now, as an alternative, imagine having a warm lather shave every morning for just pennies.

That’s where the shaving cuttle comes into play.  It’s really just a ceramic bowl that you fill with hot water.  The hot water then heats up another ceramic bowl that is attached to the top.  You then whip up your warm lather in the top bowl with your favorite soap or cream.

Ceramic shaving scuttles vary in price and size.  They require no electricity, have no moving parts, and are easy to clean. And with proper care, like a good razor, it’s another shaving tool you can hand down to a son or grandson.

Before you run out a buy one, you may want to re-purpose some bowls you have around the house.  Check out the above video where I’ve done just that!  I find this works wonderfully well! i’ve get a warm lather shave and I save some serious dollars.

If you’d rather purchase a shave scuttle, there are some popular scuttles in The Shave Stop.  With Christmas just around the corner, a shaving scuttle makes a great gift for any guy!
