The mostly-covered rectangle mug keeps your water
hot while it allows steam to escape through holes in the
platform, moistening your shaving soap. Sturdy, unique,
and efficient, this mug makes a fine addition to any
shaving set.
This mug is great. Once I add the hot water underneat the soap I get a great later that is warm when applied to my face. It helps give you that barbershop feel of a warm lather at home and for a great price. Plus it came with some soap as an unexpected bonus.

This is a very good shaving mug for primitive areas or cheap hotels with limited hot water. You heat the water on a stove or camps stove/fire and pour the water into the mug's reservoir and you can start shaving. It's a very practical design for 3rd world travels and trekking
