Abstract
A closable vessel including a main body portion and a hingeably affixed lid portion. A suction cup affixing structure is providing on either the lid or the back of the main body for removably affixing the vessel to a surface. When affixed the vessel presents its contents at an appropriate angle between the horizontal and the vertical for easy access by the user and to allow drainage of water. Drain holes accomplish drainage and provide ventilation to the contents when the vessel is closed. Alternate embodiments include use of partitions and a retaining bar for holding the contents. Further, a mirror may be provided for shaving or the like.
