This scuttle definitely improved my shave experience. If you haven’t experienced a nice hit shave lather I highly suggest you pick up a naked armor scuttle and give it a try.
I just got done using the Noah’s Organic shave puck. Wow what an awesome soap. My first time using a straight razor was a horrible experience. To be honest it was my first time wet shaving. I bought a very cheap puck off of Amazon and it had no slickness or cushion. This is not the case with Noah’s Organic Puck. This soap isn’t much more than what I paid for that horrible soap from Amazon, but it performs like a top tier soap. I had tremendous amounts of lather , and slickness and cushion for an amazing straight shave tonight. 3 wonderful passes. This soap is heading into my rotation.
The Dodinel carries a good weight and balance. This razor has a good edge out of the box and gave a good 1st shave.
Guys, this was precisely what I was looking for. A slightly oversized, heavy, quality shaving cup.
The internal ""warm water channel"" works exactly as advertised. When filled with hot water, the cup becomes hot to the touch, warming your shaving cream and/or soap.
The indentations are perfect for getting a quality lather on good shaving cream and/or soap. Easy to clean, and should you require it, pop it right into the dishwasher and forget about it. Finally, it looks good, feels manly, and I like it in my everyday bathroom kit.
But! The damn Cork... Let's talk about the Cork!
It is a cheap, right-out-of-the-mill Cork. It is low quality and flakes if you scratch it moderately with your thumbnail. That isn't a big deal, but seems strange when paired against such a nice shaving cup.
But here is the problem. The cork is EXACTLY the right size for the warm water channel. This means that if you push it down with light force, it will go parallel to the surface and be difficult to pry out of the hole when finished.
Finally, if you're a functional moron like me, any ham-handed attempts to get the cork back out result in shoving the cork INTO the warm water channel. No! My Cork!!! I've been working at it for several minutes, like trying to dig termites out of a termite mound. Guys! My tools aren't working, and I can't get the Cork out.
To the manufacturer, please consider oversizing the corks. That would make it simple to push in and remove. Finally, it is impossible to be pushed into the warm water channel by idiots like me. The cork is an odd detail to screw up with such a quality shaving cup. Or, consider another type of stopper for the water channel that I can't conceptualize now?
Good service. Very well honed. Short lead time. This sharp straight razor now allows me to easily follow my employers dress code.
