I was going through the cabinet full of way too many coffee mugs and came across this one. I was thinking it would make a good mug to hole a puck of VDH or Williams shaving foap. What do you think?
New puck soap mug?

cool, should work a treat
That has to be one of the coolest mugs I have seen. 
I dunnp. If it was that generic, it should mention possible shaving use..
LOL, cool! Why not!
Neat mug.
If you had something shorter or larger of diameter for its width it might prove easier to use. Try it and see.

I thought the great people here would like this. I am going to have to try it out, just because I can. I have no idea where the mug came from so I can not tell you where to get one. 
However I can at least share this on with you all through a picture, weeee.

Very cool! I'd let it hole my foap
I like the part about the "rubber ducky".
Better have a tall brush or you'll bang your fingers.
nice
I use a coffee mug for my VDH soap puck, works just fine for me.

I am not sure why this never dawned on me, but I was looking at a box of Williams "mug" shaving soap. MUG....and that got me thinking, why not try and make a lather or load my brush using a VDH soap puck in a mug? I have a nice lathering bowl but the puck slides all around in it when you are trying to load your brush. It took a little picture on an in-expensive puck of shaving soap to give me the idea, go figure.
Thanks to 82R100 (I believe it was him), I melted my VDH last night on my wife's candle warmer. I was tired of it sliding around in the bowl. Nice. It looks like it was meant to be that way.

Thank you for the attribution. An advantage of very inexpensive soap is if you find that the mug is deeper than you like, you can add a puck on top of the existing one and it's not so deep anymore.
My first experience of wet shaving (experienced poorly, as I didn't know quite what I was doing) was the gift of a no-name badger brush and a mug of Woods of Windsor from my wife one Christmas (about 20 years ago). The soap is gone but the mug lives on. It's pretty conventional in diameter but about 2/3 the height of a normal coffee mug.

I had to do something since I was only left with my VDH bowl now that my mug split in half with a bunch of tiny shards. And your idea sounded like a winner to me. Plus, I didn't have to worry about trying to figure out if the VDH was microwave safe.
