Certainly you may use them. You are cleaning them so they are fresh. Normally, the mug held a puck of some semi hard soap. A bit of hot water was added and a pre-soaked brush made the lather. Some folks use the mug for the soap and to load a brush and then a lather bowl to build the lather...I do it that way most days. The mug and brush may also be used as a pre-lathering for face lathering and or hand lathering. Your style may be different but will work for you!
Have Fun!
