    Please pardon the double post.

    Wouldn't this poll reach a lot more people and get a lot more votes if it was in the general forum? I think having it tucked away in "site feedback" is going to mean that less people will vote and perhaps we would get a better sample is we could get votes well into the hundreds.

    I think that most of us who REALLY have been wanting this since who knows when are aware of this thread. Posting in the General Forums may skew the results a bit.

    I like the color of the prototype. Why are all the samples a light blue?

    But regarding the colors listed in this thread I would have to say Light Blue 013.

    NONE OF THE ABOVE! How about Butterscotch? To go with our butterscotch brushes? And a black badger logo.

    +2 for the prototype. I can’t think of a better color. For my tastes blacks, browns and earth tones are the best colors for a classy earthenware shave mug.

    Great! Another for the most muted tone. We’re currently in . . . last place.

    Great idea. Butterscotch would look fantastic!

    I realize that blue was the color that was voted most popular back at the start of this project. I would like to see it made available in black in addition to the blue. The black would be more neutral then the blue and fit in to any shave den where as the blue might not.

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

    Agree with some of the other posters that a neutral color such as black, white, or cream would probably have a higher SWMBO acceptance factor in the bathroom. But it looks nice regardless of color.

    Well, my shaving friends and B & B members…it seems the vote and poll is in and it looks like our first ‘installment and offering’ of our Shaving Mug will be the color of OASIS 037 (Yeah Baby!!!).

    John @ WCS and B & B will most likely publicize the sale of our Mug as soon as John’s marketing team has listed our Mug on his website for sale.

    On behalf of John @ WCS, the B & B Moderators and Administrators…I want to sincerely thank you all for your participation in the whole process of making our Shaving Mug a reality.

    To sum up, I would like to proudly say…let the buying begin (and please don’t forget that all proceeds go to B & B).!!!

    wow, almost missed this one (i didn't miss it did i?)

    hope to see them up soon on WCS. i'm happy with the colour choice as well as the mug style. much prefer this style over the standard coffee mug shape (i'm not a coffee drinker).
