Buyer Beware - Samurai Mug

[Big Jim]

I purchased a mug on ebay and it isn't what would be expected. It's tiny. Not suitable for most brushes. Might work for small travel brushes.

Maybe the right size for a Wee Scot.

Shown with an Old Spice mug & Burma Shave brush reknotted with a Silvertip for perspective.

For more perspective shown with a West Coast Shaving apothecary mug.

I should mention that as pictured on ebay, the logo wasn't displayed.

I bought it without knowing it was a martial arts themed mug. It turns out this is the second time I bought on. The first time the martial arts logo was displayed. I bought the first one and had it shipped directly to my son, who has a black belt in Samurai Sword. He never told me it was a trinket, too small to be of any use. I didn't know until the current one arrived.

Just beware that you are buying a trinket, not a usable mug.

Well you could always use it for your espresso.

I bought an all-black one off Amazon, probably the same manufacture, that was way smaller than I thought it was going to be.

Are the dimensions mentioned on the Amazon page, the questions or reviews? Is there only one size available?

 

[SharpieB]

How much was it? Looks perfect for tequila shots.

Its the mug of shame. You get this mug if you can't finish a stick of Arko.

I purchased a mug...

Looks perfect for a Haslinger soap.

 

[Big Jim]

The seller offered me a refund if I removed the negative feedback. I told them no because a customer should know what they are buying.

Looks perfect for a Haslinger soap.

I have a sample from Mystic Waters that I just might press into this tiny mug and lather up with a tiny brush just for giggles.

I looked at the listing and it's not a good one. Were you aware of the Samurai logo on the side? At the very least, they should've included measurements in the listing and a few more photos...

Ebay.
These are also on Amazon for a dollar or so more and the size is listed.
This is apparently the "travel" size. There is a larger one listed, but it isn't large by standards here.

Sorry!!

When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade.

It works nice enough for my smaller brushes. Shown here are the We Scott and the AOS Temporary reknotted with a TGN 15mm Finest. Soap is a sample of Mystic Waters Prospector Creek.
