Full details
The Mühle Shaving Mug in white porcelain is designed for wet shaving enthusiasts who appreciate the ritual of creating a high-quality lather by hand. It serves as an elegant, durable vessel that facilitates the transition from soap or cream to a rich, stable foam. While its porcelain construction offers a sophisticated aesthetic and excellent heat retention, users should handle it with care as it is susceptible to breakage if dropped on hard bathroom surfaces.

FAQs
Can this mug be used with both soaps and creams?
Yes, it is designed to work perfectly with both hard soap pucks and soft shaving creams.
Is the handle sturdy enough to hold the weight of the mug?
Yes, the handle is integrated into the porcelain mold and is designed to support the weight of the mug easily.
Does the porcelain get slippery when wet?
The glaze is smooth, but the side knob handle is designed specifically to provide a point of leverage, ensuring you maintain a firm grip even when wet.
What is the best way to prevent water spots?
Simply dry the mug with a clean, lint-free towel immediately after rinsing it out following your shave.
Will this mug fit a large shaving brush?
The wide opening accommodates most standard shaving brushes, though very oversized brushes may find the width a bit restricted.
Is the material safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, high-quality porcelain is non-reactive and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent material for grooming accessories.
Troubleshooting
Lather is too thin or watery
Reduce the amount of water added to the brush before starting, and continue to whip the soap for an additional 30-60 seconds.
Soap puck slides around inside the mug
Apply a few drops of water to the base of the puck and press it firmly into the mug; allow it to dry overnight to "glue" the soap to the porcelain bottom.
Lather cools down too quickly
Ensure you are pre-heating the mug by letting it sit in a bowl of hot water for 2-3 minutes before lathering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Before first use, rinse the mug with warm water and a mild soap to remove any manufacturing dust. If you are using a hard soap puck, ensure it is securely seated in the bottom of the mug; you may need to press it in or use a small amount of water to help it adhere.
Compatibility: This mug is compatible with almost all standard shaving creams and most traditional soap pucks. It is sized to accommodate most standard-sized badger or synthetic shaving brushes.
Care: After each shave, rinse the mug thoroughly with warm water to remove all residual soap scum. Wipe the exterior and interior dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots from forming on the glaze. While the porcelain is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to protect the integrity of the glaze over long-term use.
