New find, new mug, new question.

I picked this up at a local store over the weekend. I didn't even know that they carried shaving gear. They had this (in white as well), some DE's, Col. Conk's (Amber, Lime, & Almond), Wilkinson blades, along with some other random goodies.

My post is in regards to the shave mug...for those who have used a similar-styled mug, do you find the tapered base to be too narrow? In the few times that I have used it I have found that the hairs of my brush tends not to splay out, but rather to stay tight together.

Your thoughts?

Mugs such as you have or Old Spice mugs have one annoying thing for me...the brush handle knocking against the inside of the mug. I like lower shave dishes or bowls. No racket.

@retturn,

Yes, I agree. I also have a similar issue with the little, blue bowl which I picked up way back when with the VDH boar brush. I also tend to clang when using a larger, regular kitcher bowl...but perhaps that is because I am too exuberant in my mixing.
