Mark – also known as mantic59 – has written an interesting article on the history of shaving mugs and scuttles.

For instance; did you know that back in the day people though that shaving rash came from using sharing the same soap, so people could buy their own personalised shaving mug for use in the barbershop?

A good read, all told – more so since I’m playing with the idea of buying a scuttle.
