Both of them are beautiful. And Mr. Smythe's constant tweaking and improving are why I have a hard time pulling the trigger on purchasing stuff. It's a good conundrum to have. Have a great evening Mark.
Larry, thanks for conforming how nice this scuttle is.:) Do you find it to be rather durable as Phoenix Shaving describes it? I realize it's ceramic, but the glazing does it give it a rather robust quality.
I've had my present hand-thrown stoneware scuttle for 15 years. Paid a king's ransom for it, by comparison. Gotta say, ceramic seems pretty attractive... lighter, thinner. Really like that glazing. Too bad a fellow only needs one scuttle! - At least I know I have more options if my current scuttle were to break. Thanks!
I love the spacescape scuttle works beautifully. Love the large size. Only complaint i have is the use of low grade cork in the plug. My cork started breaking apart after week worth of shaves, replaced it with a silicone size 2. Ame size that their indestructible travel scuttle cork
Beautiful scuttle...Beautiful design! Congratulations, Mark! A big shout out to Mark Bagwell for giving you the heads up about this new & improved scuttle. Dead Bang Winner!!😊
I am literally already planning on getting one at the beginning of next month. Currently I am using their travel scuttle and my only complaint is it is a bit small. Hence the reason I decided to get a Spacescape scuttle. However I will say kinda worry on it being ceramic. I haven't dropped my travel scuttle yet so maybe I am worried over nothing. I actually 3D printed a shave bowl with a lip on it like you are showing and I have to say that little change makes a world of difference. If that thing would hold heat like a scuttle I would use it all the time. Thank you for the great video and review.
Jeff, when I first got the Dreamscape scuttle, I made sure to use it on the counter when building a lather. The size of these things is surprising...larger than you think. So you really have to get the feel, over time, of holding it. Little by little, I became more comfortable holding it on camera and building a lather. My first video review, however, I made sure not to lift it up. I was afraid of dropping it. As you can see in the video, I kept it on the counter. ua-cam.com/video/YMYH6OhRzxA/v-deo.htmlsi=DHGYldGMqkXXD72K Since then, I've become accustomed to holding it up in front of the camera when building a lather....but holding it CAREFULLY. When I'm not doing a video review, and I'm using these scuttles for a shave, I keep them firmly on the counter.:)
Have you tried The Intergalactic Indestructible Shatterproof Travel Scuttle by Phoenix Shaving? It's polypropylene. "The polypropylene works like a buffer and shields the lather from the effects of the boiling water. It just behaves differently than traditional ceramic and tends to rewrite this old rule."

Wish I had that much counter space...that's huge.
Nice review Mark. See you tomorrow at the meetup. have a safe trip. 👍
Thank you, Bill. See you tomorrow.:)
Love mine! I used it this morning and most mornings!

@@MarkSzorady I think it does better because the increased ridge at the top helps prevent "over-run" of lather.

Hi Mark- Great scuttle preview; thank you! Have a wonderful weekend and best regards!
Thanks, Mike.:) Have a great weekend! :)
I haven't used a scuttle in ages, I face lather but after seeing the improved model I just might get one and start again. Thanks for sharing!
Ken, let us know what you decide to do. If you get one, please share your experience.:)
Will do!@@MarkSzorady

Beth, thanks very much!:) It's a nice improvement over the previous model. I was curious.:)
Greetings from my Hospital Room, thanks for sharing with us.
KT, get well soon! Thanks for tuning in and I hope the channel keeps you company.:)
missed opportunity for: BOOM! Lather!
haha - I expected to see you making up some lush lather.
Another great review in the books- Really a nice addition to any den👍✌️
Thank you, James.:)
I live mine but I too use it on the counter top.

I quit using my scuttle; the warm lather is nice, but the warmer the later, the more watery the lather becomes

That thing is bigger than my bathroom. 😂
:):):) It's got some size to it, no doubt! Substantial.:)
