Shaving Brush and Mug


Years ago, shaving the hair on your face was a little different than it is today. There were no electric shavers, or safety shaving kits, etc. Men had a mug (see photo) with soap and water in it. They also had a brush to spread the mixture on their face. This mixture of soap and water made their straight razor glide smoothly over their face to avoid cuts. It also eased the painful scratching that the razor would cause without the mixture.
