Thread: New guy and collector...help me ID this cup

Maybey it is a sort of razor sterilizer. Some sort of something went in the bottom and the razors were arranged around? Sounds good.

Razors for surgical prep are usually made all metal... put 4 of them in the "holder", a little alcohol in the bottom cup and presto!

Well certainly, whatever it's intended use, if you can use it that is very cool.
Neat Mug!

SWAG,
I bought a Japanese ceramic one which had a water dump, and a reservoir below it. I figure to:, close bottom. fill hot water, soak brush, get all really toasty hot, open bottom drain water, close bottom, add a small chip of soap and whip the snot out it to a lather with the water left in the brush. Should be plenty of lather for a three pass. Then rinse all and put it away.
YMMV!!

Yes, even if the "sterilizer idea" would be right, that's no fun way to use it today.
As a lather cup it would be way more useful, so keep trying it in every way you can and let us know how it works.

That's pretty much how its going. Fill with hot water, soak brush, drain. Load soap, dish cream, whip the snot out of it, 3-pass, rinse and let dry. Works pretty well.

It also worked for me! Thanks for starting the thread!

Enjoy!
