    Exclamation What Color Should Our B & B Shaving Mug Be? Part Duex

    Dear Members:
    Since the last Poll (Read More: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthr...having Mug be?), the membership had indicated that our Mug wil be Blue, but what shade of Blue?

    John & I have selcted four (4) shades of Blue in which you can vote in today's Poll. The highest number of shade votes will be our color for our Mug.

    Each mug like the prototype shown below in the attachment will have slight imperfections, character and variability in size/shape (think 'rustic' comes to mind), due to each mug being 'individually crafted, unique and hand-thrown'.

    Also, the mugs will be finished with a smooth, water proof glaze and the bottom surface of the mugs will be unfinished plus remember...all proceeds from the sale of these mugs will go (as always), to B & B!!!



    The inside diameter of each mug is 3.5in and the inside height is 1.75in. Also, the outside diameter is 4in, the outside height is a little over 2in and each mug will retail around $20-25USD (excluding shipping).

    Now picture this, the prototype mug w/ white etching in one of the blue shades as 'voted-in' this Poll enclosed. For reasons of reaching the many members here, this Poll will close in
    20 days on 26 July 2012.

    Let the voting begin!!!

    Gotha...and the pic of the prototype is in the attachment, but the color is a very dark, dark blue...in fact too dark to be used.

    I think the Oasis is pretty close to what I consider "B&B Blue". I'll be buying one as soon as it's released.

    I like the Oasis, too. It looks kind of like an old campfire mug, which I love.

    This wouldn't work as a coffee mug, would it?

    Depends on how much coffee you need to get you started in the morning or how strong you make that coffee. If it was Espresso or Turkish coffee it could work but for regular maybe not.
    The inside diameter of each mug is 3.5in and the inside height is 1.75in so would hold about 1/3 of a normal coffee mug.

    For whichever color is chosen, I would like the badger logo in the original B&B colors.

    I like the oasis because it is like an aqua blue , makes me think of water and wet shaving.

    Will this be available for overseas members as well? I'd really like one of those!

    I voted for light blue. I prefer muted colors if there is going to be color at all.

    I like the black/brown one best --but that isn't an option.

    Either way, I think this is going to be a fine mug.
