From the shaveblog on the subject of shaving mugs and scuttles:
"They served a purpose and served it admirably back when lather meant whipping a wet brush over a cake of hard soap, but it's 2006, and most men, even hardcore shavegeeks, use soft shaving cream. And if you shave with cream, you don't need a mug. What you do need is hot lather. Oh man do you need hot lather! Hot lather is why men fight wars, son. Not for democracy. Not for oil. We fight wars to decide who gets to shave with hot lather and who doesn't. If you've never shaved with hot lather you won't understand, and if you have, you do."
Here is the full blog entry
That really sums up how I feel. Hot lather, gentlemen, is absolutely one of life's supreme pleasures.
