Label TextHere you see a shaving mug. It has a reservoir for hot water and a built-in perforated bowl for a shaving brush. It could be used in the home as well as at the barbershop. After the introduction of pre-lathered shaving cream in the early 20th century, fewer men used tools like this for their wet shave.
