Straight shave howto video, Moss Scuttle Howto & acronym

rtaylor61

Thanks to Randy Tuttle for bringing up the fact that the Lynn Abrams Straight Razor Shaving Video should be posted here.

Interested in a straight, or want to see how the "Honemeister" himself shaves with a straight?

I think Lynn does it so beautifully! I try my best to use his technique, except I have a big problem. I'm unable to stretch my facial skin. If I try, I experience unbearable pain.

Scuttle Howto By Chris Moss:

1. The inner bowl and outer reservoir are filled with hot water:

2. The brush is allowed to soak in the hot water in the inner bowl while prepping the face:

3. The scuttle is emptied, and this time only the outer reservoir is filled with hot water:

4. The brush is shaken to remove excess water, and a dab of cream added:

5. The lather is whipped up, and keeps warm between passes as it sits in the heated inner bowl:

Easy!

Chris

Question about the scuttle. Can you use boiling water in it or would that crack it?

That's what I thought. There is a thread using a quaich for lather in a hot pot. I thought that might dry out the lather as well. Wanted to see if the scuttle was better.

Does it really keep the lather nice and warm between passes?

....if mine is any example,
YES.

Typically, after the first hot lather pass, its simple to plop the brush down in the scuttle while I shave. It's still good to go for a few more passes.

I, too, use a scuttle (Georgetown), and it keeps the brush warm. I usually change the water in the scuttle interior in between passes because I like REALLY warm lather.

Too bad the photos are boogered in the 2 year old posts. Probably can't be fixed. Oh well. Maybe somebody will take some new ones, and post them! I don't have one of those type scuttles, or I'd have already done it.
