Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I collect shaving mugs(and soaps),and received this Colonel Conk model as a gift some time ago. Shaving mugs have a pretty wide range of designs and styles, considering they all are pretty much created for the same purpose. Any mug that is a little on the wide and deep side can double as a shaving mug when there isn't anything more formal around. And there is no question that they can come in a whole lot cheaper than this one. But a solid well designed mug like the Colonels model here is a fine example of getting a simple idea just about as perfect as it can come.
This model 129 is very solidly built, (a lot of them are not, drop them once on the sink and that is all she wrote). Its just deep enough to handle about any kind or style soap that you happen to have in mind or favor, but not so deep that you end up sticking half your hand inside to get at the lather. It has a good solid comfortable handle that will not slip out of your grip easily, and lastly this mug is a very attractive one at that. It has a nice modern feel to it as far as convenience, but most definitely has an old style handlebar mustache barbershop look to it overall. The simple design is handsome without being overdone, and the mug itself is made of a rich looking white bone china. Although I do not favor the Colonel Conk shaving soap as my personal favorite, it is certainly not a cheap blend. It has a very masculine fragrance, lathers richly, and comes in at 3 3/4 oz in size, one of the biggest cakes you will find at retail. (For a really super variety of shaving soaps mostly all home made I suggest checking out the wares on Ebay. They have the biggest variety of fragrances, style, sizes, and prices around anywhere).
In conclusion, if you happen to be one of the few vanishing breed of men that still favor a mug and brush, or know a man that is and have in mind this mug as a gift, I strongly recommend this fine Colonel Conk model that comes complete with a cake of their soap. Personally I much prefer this mug over the other Colonel model available here on Amazon that has a knob on the side as opposed to a handle. The knob may look cool, but when your hands are wet and soapy its far easier to lose the grip on the knob than it is to let go of this handle. Believe me, I know from experience! Overall a fine handsome mug at a good price that would make the perfect addition to your gear, or as a gift. It's not one you will just display but enjoy using. Recommended
