For a wet shaver, life isn’t complete without a Moss Scuttle. The Moss Scuttle is an ingenious design of a wet shaving scuttle that arrived through my fax machine one winter from Dr. Chris Moss of Tatamagouche.The design came with a request to make one which I gladly did, oblivious at that time that there were any souls out there that used a brush and/or a straight razor to shave.

Chris was delighted when I delivered the first one and said “I have 800 friends”. His posting of the scuttle on Shavemyface.com proved that wasn’t an idle boast and generated an enormous interest from around the world. Chris also asked that I send a scuttle to Corey Greenberg of Shaveblog.com, which resulted in a rave review and instructions on how to use the scuttle. Click here to read the review.

To make a scuttle requires a month from start to finish. Each scuttle is individually hand thrown by me, then dried, fired, glazed and refired to almost 2300° F.

Ayars Lather Bowl dimensions approximately 5" x 1 3/4".

All prices are in Canadian Dollars.

The Ayars Lather Bowl was designed by Jim Ayars of Vintage Blades. The bottom of the bowl has slight ridges to help build a full, luxurious lather.

The support of the wet shaving community has been beyond my wildest expectations, thank you! I will continue to ship orders on a first-come-first-served basis.

"I recently purchased two of your lather bowls. They are incredibly efficient and the best I have ever used in 50 years of wet shaving. "
- Thomas M., CA

"The concentric circles at the bottom retain a little water and make building lather much better! Your work is much talked about on Badger and Blade, but the pieces even exceeded my high expectations "
- Tom S.
