I have a Wade scuttle that I picked up from the Bay a while back for 99p, it's a big old brute, quite agricultural. It has an old vintage Bentley on it. Cool.
Initially I only bought it because it was cheap, and maybe because it might look interesting on the shaving shelf.
After 6 weeks or so of ownership I'm actually getting tempted to use the damn thing. So what do you do with them exactly? I'm guessing you have to put a small soap in the top dish, hot water in the bottom, put your brush in the spout to soak, and eventually face lather with the warm brush and soap? I'm a bowl latherer normally so excuse the ignorance... I'm gathering that these things were from a time where hot water wasn't on tap, hence the water reservoir?
Does anyone still use one? A search shows that Fido wrote about a modern one a while back, but as for current members he's the only one I saw.
