History

Shaving mugs became popular in the mid-19th century when shaving with a straight razor became more common. They were designed to hold soap and keep the lather warm, making it easier to shave. Shaving mugs were typically made of ceramic or porcelain and were decorated with intricate designs or personalized with the owner’s name or initials.

Shaving mugs were also popular gifts for men, and some were even given as prizes at carnivals and fairs. By the early 20th century, the popularity of safety razors and shaving creams reduced the demand for shaving mugs, and they became less common. However, shaving mugs are still appreciated by collectors today for their unique designs and historical significance.
