Well I found what I thought was a good deal on one of these old Occupational Mugs (some are in the hundreds of dollars and not for me) and it arrived today.
I was very pleased with the size (bigger than expected) and condition.
I realized I don't know exactly how these were traditionally used. It seems the perfect shape to put a puck of soap in. But, do you build a lather in it with the puck still in there?
I think barbershops used to keep your mug with your name and profession in the shop to shave you with. Did you have your own razor and brush and soap?
Any input appreciated.
