I bought my latest batch of shaving supplies from amazon. Amazon delayed delivery for one week because I'm not an amazon prime member. Because I am not a US citizen and live far from USA, it took exactly two weeks for products to arrive my home. Next time, I won't order from amazon.
Product List
I ran out of soaps and wanted a better shaving bowl than marvy rubber mug cup that has a small elevated ring that makes it difficult to lather large soaps. I wanted a shaving mug for containing a shaving soap and loading my brush. I wanted a separate shaving bowl for lathering. The rest are just more shaving soaps.

Shaving Soap Moisture Retention
I bought 4 pieces of 10cm silicon cup lids. They fit my shaving mug and shaving bowl perfectly. Those lids will keep moisture and soap scent from escaping. Soap scent was an annoying problem because I kept shaving soap in my marvy rubber shaving mug in my room. My room was filled with soap scent although my nose got used to the scent very quickly. I also wanted some degree of moisture retention. Those silicon cup lids are good for retention of moisture and scent.
I'm slightly worried about soap disintegration due to water retention because my last soap was spent more quickly after I started blooming my soap and placing a lid on the mug after shaving. Does moisture accelerate soap consumption?
My first impression on Shaving Mug with Mustache by Untold Goods
As you can see in the following pictures, the handles have some holes. I think those are not cracks but originate from a mediocre finish. At the bottom of the mug is written china. It was made in china. China has had reputation for poor build quality. I'm slightly worried about cracks on this product. But, there has been no amazon review that reports cracks in this product. On the other hand, Colonel Conk Model 129 Super Shave Mug doesn't have holes or gaps on it.
Although it is big enough to hold any soap, I'll probably use it as a lather bowl.
My first impression on Colonel Conk Model 129 Super Shave Mug with Soap
It is taller than Shaving Mug with Mustache by Untold Goods and as wide as Shaving Mug with Mustache. Colonel Conk Model 129 Super Shave Mug and Shaving Mug with Mustache both can serve as a lather bowl, but Colonel Conk Model 129 Super Shave Mug seems to be a better soap container because I can hold onto its handle while loading my brush and it is taller than Shaving Mug with Mustache. Its height compensates for heights of shaving soaps. I'm going to use it as a shaving soap container.
