Thread: Thicker, Sticker Lather

I thought I'd share this for anyone who might be having problems with building a nice, thick lather.

My shaving mug is an over-sized coffee mug soup bowl. (See photo.) The inside is plain, smooth ceramic, and doesn't offer a lot of texture to help whip up the lather. So I placed a flower-shaped bathtub grip sticker on the inside bottom, and now my lathers are magnificent. At least 3x as thick and luxurious. Life is good.

Thanx,
Christopher

That sounds like the best of both worlds
Nice thick lather and cost just a few dollars
Could you post a photo of the inside of your mug?

I was wondering what your grip sticker brand is
May try something similar myself
And would like to get a good quality item
Thanks for sharing

I just want that razor....hehehehe

Here's a photo of the inside of my shaving mug. The flower bathtub sticker is a no-name, grocery store brand, designed to stick on the floor of the bathtub for safe traction. You'll find them in the bathroom accessories section with the shower curtains, plastic shower hooks, shower caddies, etc.

Thanx,

Do they come in a color other than pink

The store only had pink, but I seem to recall them sold in a few standard shapes (fish, flowers, circles) and colors (baby blue, pink, white). The funny thing is that when I was making my straight razor storage/display jar (see photo below) I needed a wedding sachet bag, and I could only find them in pink and white. And since I was looking for a splash of color in the jar, I chose the pink. It seems that all the little accessories I use for my straight razor shaving only come in the color pink. Oh, well. At least everything matches. =)
