Special Shaving Mugs for Special Shaving Soap
Painter’s Pallette Shaving Mug – Morphy Auctions
I made a batch of cold process shaving soap today. (You can make melt and pour shaving soap too…) Before I made the soap though, I was looking at various shaving mugs to pour the soap into. I love to have a set of mugs ready and then just pour half of the fresh soap into the mugs – and half of the soap into a 3″ PVC tube to use as “refills”. Imagine my delight when I found a whole gallery of various historical antique shaving mugs featured on my friend and colleague Pamela Wiggins’ Antiques site here on About.com. (I must admit, the batch of soap was delayed for an hour or so while I looked at shaving mugs, vintage valentine cards and Christmas collectibles.) I’ve always said that packaging and presentation can make or break a soap – at least from a retail sense – so why not dress up your shaving soap in a marvelous mug?

The Art of Soap – When Does Soapmaking Become More than Just a Craft?
I think for all of us, our very first batch/bar of soap will always be a wonder – a work of art for us. We’re amazed that we could combine this lye and these oils and come out with soap – real soap. But there are some soap makers who take their soap making craft to higher levels – making a real art out of their creations – for all of us. For some “art” is embodied in the inspiration behind the soap, for others it’s in the why they make the soap, for others it’s in the design or packaging of the soap. Author and proprietor of Soapylove Debbie Chialtas has collected 24 soap makers’ stories in her book “The Art of Soap” – and whatever sort of soap maker you are, I promise that you’ll find some kindred spirits in this book. Page after page I kept reading of other soap makers who had said and felt the same things that I had as I started making soap. I’m sure you will too.
