Since I discovered Tabac I'm less and less of a shave cream guy. However, one problem I do have with Tabac and other shave soaps is the shave mug. I just think they are not wide enough and to deep to properly load up a brush. With this in mind I contacted Dirty Bird Pottery and asked Julie if she could make a mug that was wider and less deep than the ones she has on her website. She said she could and here is the result. The opening is 4 1/2 inches and the depth is 1 3/4 inches. This give me plenty of room to maneuver the brush and not have the brush handle bang on the sides as with smaller mugs. Also I got a somewhat inverted handle which helps in holding the mug securely while loading my brush. As much as I would like to take credit for this design I would like to thank "Dougie 55" after seeing his post about the mug he had made by Julie at Dirty Bird. As for Julie, first rate customer service and workmanship. A pleasure to do business with her.
Here are some pics.
BTW, the mug has been loaded with one puck and one shave stick of Tabac. I think I may be able to load two more pucks. If that is the case this Tabac shave mug should last me years.
