Item Description
I ordered the Saint Charles Shave Heavy Mug as an special for Badger and Blades forum. It came with a nice fragrance soap (more on the soap later)
I 'm a soap shaver and my first reaction when opening the box and seeing the size of the item wrapped in a nice red tissue paper was that they made a mistake and sent a scuttle instead. Also a nice cologne fragrance permeated the room.
It is a really large mug, very elegant in glossy black with the SCS logo in silver. In the bottom of the mug was a tightly fitted puck of soap. The idea is that you put hot water in your sink and rest the mug in the sink with some hot water over the soap where you can rest yor brush. after the shower, soap, brush and mug are nice and toasty.
After pouring the water off the mug, I worked a nice lather with a few swirls, once interesting note is that the soap itself spin inside the mug but does not comes out; that is how tight it is placed. The soap is muy slick and I felt that there was not need of after shave after. That is how moisturizing it was.
You take the mug out by the wide handle lather your face and return it to the hot water at the bottom of the sink. If the water cools, just refill with hot tap water, no need of boiling water. My only concern is to find a puck large enough to fit the mug, I'm sure Sue will have them available. I don't remember the name of the soap or if it was listed in the package there was a little card attached to the handle that I discarded without reading.
If you don't drop it it should last forerver (I mean the mug, not the soap
)
I prefer mugs to wood containers and large pucks will work nicely inside this bowl if you don't become addicted to the SCS soap included. It will be nice if Sue offers different flavors refills for this mug like Very V soap.
I think it is a simple idea at a very good price
