Greetings from New York City-------------It was good that you gave a lathering demonstration from the shaving scuttle by The Mud Place, but would have preferred a side-by-side comparison to the Crown King scuttle, using the same type and amount of soap, the same amount and temperature of water, and the same brush,
In these Inflationary Times. HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT MY FRIENDs Use any hard Bar Soap, Tallow or Glycerin based Soaps out there? To fit in any Mugs, Scuttles or Cups? Like" (Mitchells' Wool Fat or Arko Sticks. Just to name a few of them?) You can mix and match your old Soaps? Cut up the soap on a paper plate, pour your soap chunks with the shavings from the Paper Plate into a Mug, cover the soap with a small amount of water, and microwave your soap. For about a minute or so? Place a paper plate under your mug in case it bubbles out of your cup? If it foams up, STOP. The water keeps it from burning itself up. (DON'T OVER WATER YOUR SOAP??) Easy, does it? Let cool don't want to Crack the Mugs or Cups you're using? (You just want it to Congeal in your Mug or Cup') it is very hot and watery'''''. let it .l in . PLACE'. after it cools, put it in a Sunny Window, until the Soap hardens? When using your soaps, use Dry Brush Less Water. It thickens the soap, making it easier to use on your face. Save your Money, spend it on your wife, don't listen to the shave Mafia. It saves me time and Money. Happy New Year. Your Mileage may vary? Wheelchair Larry
Alan Thanks for watching! Yes, the lather does stay warm for a three pass shave and my scuttle was the standard size, not the larger one... There’s plenty of room work it up!!
Wow, quick reply! Thanks Tony. Their site's a little confusing. The have the "Big Daddy" and the "large capacity big daddy" and in two pictures of different color "large capacity big daddies" one looks exactly like yours and the other is completely different in number of horizontal ridges. I'll have to call them and ask some questions I think. But I do love the bowl and your explanation as to how it works.
Yes 3 passes for standard size normal or super/uber lather using glycerin. Then redo again if you gonna use for others part as well aside face enough for 3 passes of shaving brushes once again standard size

Very good points!
Wow! I loved your video Tony and you've inspired me to go purchase one on Etsy tonight. Thanks for the awesome video.
Great Info, very cool.
Crazy question: can I heat it first with a lighter or stove burner? So I don't have to wait too long.

Does the Crown King keep the lather warm longer because of the stopper? Doesn't the Mud shop scuttle lose heat through the open spout?
One more question...was this the "big daddy" bowl I saw on the website?
Nice video. Will the lather stay warm for 2 or 3 passes?
