Pewter mug

Gents,
I am also is search of a nice metal/ pewter mug. I see that classic has 2: one made by Vulfix for $50 and another made by Rooney for$70. Vintage baldes has one for $45. Does anyone have any of these? From the description the Vulfix one maybe the largest. I already have the Merkur shave bowl and I am looking for something larger - similar to a coffee mug.

I just looked at fleabay and they had a TON of pewter bowls and mugs of all shapes and sizes.

Lee's Razors also sells a pewter mug... I don't have any experience with it though...

Gents,
I was ready to pull the trigger on that Vulfix Pewter mug from classicshaving when I read this post by JoeKidd:

I have a Progress Vulfix Ltd/Sheffield Mint pewter shave mug that I bought some time ago for $50 during a weak AD moment. It's a beautiful mug and comfortable to use, although I prefer my roomier Col. Conk ceramic mug. The problem with the pewter is that it leaches metal, a gray discoloration, into the soap from where it contacts the bottom of the mug. I certainly don't want this on my face or in my brushes so I stopped using the mug. Has anyone else had this experience?

Anyone have this problem?
