so I was given this scuttle by my lovely wife on valentines day and I have an idea on how to use it but could use more enlightening advice.

People used to only use one soap AND they used to finish a soap?It comes from a time, where you only had one soap and would use it up. The holes are there for water to run off... ENJOY
thanks very very much mystery solved, worked perfectlyThis not a scuttle, like modern ones designed to keep your lather warm...
It is a so called shaving mug: you fill the inside up with water and can soak your brush. The top part is designed to hold your puck - just press it in a bit. This is fantastic for loading your soap the way I like to do (someone please provide a link as I am on my mobile - Merkur Man method).
