    If I'm not mistaken, the open side allows the scuttle to be filled w warm water for your brush or to use for lathering, while the 1/2 shelf is designed to lather your soap/cream

    usually they have holes on the soap side to allow the water to drain off and help keep the soap warm so I don't know what the idea is there.

    if i'm not mistaken.. that cup was not designed for shaving.. it's original purpose was to drink hot tea.. the spot on top is to set your teabag..

    I do believe you are correct, Victor, I have seen these before and this is what I was told.

    i'm quite sure you could use it for shaving though.. why not just grate down your favourite soap and press it into the top portion? it may not actually warm the soap any, but atleast you can soak your brush and save a little water.
