I just bought the words ugliest shaving mug, and just wanted to share it with you.
It was only 40 eurocents, so could not leave it behind...
i'll give you $1.00 right now... no questions asked
My,I don't think it's ugly at all.A fine,old-style scuttle.Very nice.
have you used it yet?
How did it go?
Common guys, it looks like something you take a pee in... With an ashtray on top, but totally out of proportion :confused:
I like it....
That scuttle, is actually quite the winner, IMO. Nice find.

It's not a looker, & the text on it detracts further, if that's possible! Hopefully it's serviceable though. You've made me laugh! You've bought it, yet you can't stand the sight of it!
I'd love a urinal/ashtray combo. Bachelors could be the target market.
Sand of 'shaving mug' and replace it with 'urinal' then proudly place it in your bathroom. That should get some priceless looks from friends and girlfriends.
P.s. make sure to lock your bathroom from the outside when your friends get drunk or hide the scuttle.
This is a common design flaw.
I also have a nice scuttle with the little holes on top.
The problem is that once you put your puck of soap in there, it effectively plugs up all those holes, and thus you get no more drainage than if they were not there at all.
I like yours all the same. Pure machismo.
Just got home and the soap does not even fit! Now it's ugly AND useless. And about the holes... of course, didn't think of that...
Also bought this (30 eurocents) to find out which one I would like more:
It is a Unique design :) but if you think it looks more like a urinal just becareful when you use it,if theres liquid in there just make sure it isnt yellow :( JK.
I don't think it's too bad at all. 40 cents is a good price. Here in Munich,
Scuttles like yours cost a fortune.
But you are right, somehow reminds me of an ashtray. Perfect for gentlemen, which smoke during shaving :)
What I love is how the word 'mister' is in quotations.... as though it is a facetious or dubious claim about the person who would use it. :D
You paid too much!
:boohoo:dannyr
check the soap to make sure its soap and not urinal cake.
I see that you've had several offers of a dollar, but to be honest, I'd happily shell out $15 or $20 for that without batting an eyelash if I wasn't strapped at the moment.
I think that's a very nice traditional scuttle, and it looks a bit larger than mine.
Come on guys! Even ugly mugs need loving too!!!!;):D
Gentlemen,
That mug is priceless, a museum piece. What character. I would love to meet the person who designed it and explore his bizarre mind.
The mug reminds me of a dowdy debutante pouting for not getting her way.
I love it.

I don't think it's ugly. It just has character.
You've just been out-uglied!
By a wide margin!

Seraphim,
That old man shaving mug is frightening. Imagine waking up to that thing every morning shave.
Oy . . .
Regards,
Obie
My dear Seraphim,
Some mornings I feel that way, too — and blame the mirror.
Regards,
Obie
Seraphim,
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
Then again, I don't know how to do that. I spent years in radio waking up at 4 a.m. for my morning radio program. Now that I no longer am in radio, it's a miracle if I can stay in bed past 6 a.m. Most mornings I still awaken at 4 a.m. and shuffle to my writing desk with a cup of coffee.
But then comes the time for that morning shave and somehow all seems to be well, even looking at myself in the mirror.
Say well.
Obie
Totally out-uglied..
But that scuttle scares me :cry:
Do you use the Kruitvat brush?! I bought one, but hated it. IMHO it smells like a wet dog and after two uses it looked like and old paintbrush that was left standing upsidedown in a glass of thinner for too long.
I bought a cup just like that with a nasty Delftsblauw print at the Blokker, but I love it. Stays warm for a while and has plenty of room to whip up a decent lather.
Groeten,
Daan
