Dave that's a really cool mug, is it milk glass?

Yes Sir, Thank you. Was in a lot with an Ever Ready Brush and a puck of Williams Tonsorial. I was wanting the soap and the mug was the bonus to use with the soap

I cannot believe you are on shave #3 with the Assured Dollar Store razor.  During my first shave the thing literally fell apart.  The doors fell off during the shave!  Still have all the pieces, but it is not worth my time to fix it.  Good luck with this razor!
