Thread: Wiping the blade / Sponge / Cup

Just saw this on E-Bay.

Given the discussion about wiping the blade vs rinsing vs tissue vs a sponge and the concern about chipping your razor on something, just saw this cool mug. Now this would be something interesting to find. A shaving mug partitioned for one side soap, and the other side contains a sponge for wiping.

This might be a bit small, but it looks great. Here it is:

Hey phrank, I have seen a couple of mugs on eBay that were partitioned, but they did lack a sponge. I have taken to this as a blade cleaning technique again of late:

In case you wondered, that is my right forearm, as I shave left handed.

By the size of your forearm, I think we'd have to get you a reinforced steel partitioned shaving mug...

I think it is most likely a perspective issue

I've been using a sponge for about a month. Saves water, quick....but I use a lot more sponge real estate than available in the cup setup. Sponge is round and roughly 5 inches in diameter. I cover the top with soap by the time I'm done.

I use the towel I used on my face before the shave. Cool mug, that's for sure.
