My new shaving mug

**JohnnyDemonic** · 11-02-2011, 01:42 PM

I grew tired on my little Old Spice shaving mug, so I ordered a proper shaving mug from "The Mud Place" and I love it. The size is great, not big, not small and fits my hand just right.

This was handmade by Leslie Nieto and looks amazing. I like to buy handmade work and support the artists that take the time to create such items. If not for them I would have a mass-produced bowl without a soul. LOL

I would post a link, but I don't want to come off as a salesman.
Edit: I should note that the razor in the last photo is massive and makes the mug look small. It's an 8/8 Wade & Butcher.

Nice indeed. Looks like it'll handle the job. Enjoy it.

Very cool looking mug. Pottery always seems to look just so very classy in the den; enjoy!

That mug is awesome. I always appreciate one off items such as this

I was debating the exact mug, but waiting to see what B&B comes up with.

I was debating which mug to get that one, or the Dirty Bird Bill Bowl. I ended up going with the Dirty Bird Bill Bowl. How long did it take you to get yours? Im thinking I shouldve gotten the one you did because its been a month and I'm still waiting for mine to get here :(

Very nice! I like the fact that it's a one-off too.

When I ordered it said 3 to 4 weeks, I got it in maybe a week. I was suprised when it came. I'm sure The Mud Place has a few already made waiting for a buyer. Your mug probably needed to be made after you ordered it. I also looked at the Dirty Bird and Schwarzweisskeramik mugs, but ended up with this one. The Schwarzweisskeramik was my second choice, awesome looking mugs.

Great looking mug, and I like the ridges on the inside. Looks like it will lather like crazy!

Sweet mate!

Ah maybe I shouldve gone with the mug from The Mud Place since I'm so impatient. Any pics of it full of lather yet?

Very nice.

**Topgumby** · 11-02-2011, 08:57 PM

Well done. Any shaving related item that reminds me of a grenade gets two thumbs up.

I made some of my favorite super-lather just for this. Proraso Aloe & Green Tea with KMF Key Lime. This is a ton of lather, I need a good bit to shave my head and face, but this is overkill. The first pic is to show the size of the mug... The second shows that I need a larger brush. LOL
It lathers much faster than my Old Spice mug. It's a lot more fluffy than usual too--must be those ridges whipping in the air.

Had to clean my hand and brush handle off after the test run. I didn't expect so much lather.
