Bought another Old Spice mug. It had the finger dingus on it so I was helpless to resist.
Can't help myself.

Oh nuts. I thought I was the only one. I have three!
But aren't they a great shape for pucks? And did you get any of the original OS soap with them? It's pretty great to me!
Did you see the thread on caps for them? $0.30, which I think qualifies as the greatest bargain in shave gear of all time! http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/191017-Old-Spice-mug-needs-a-hat! scroll down to the picture.

I also have three, but one is a coffee mug, one is a giant size like a Barbershop mug, and one is the little midget shape that most of them seem to be. Fifty years ago, I had one that looked more like the coffee mug, not quite as tall, and it came with a puck of soap as part of a gift set. I've never seen one like that one since, and would like another.
I have four so far. I have Col Conk Bay Rum soap in one of them. Flea markets are great places to find them. Ive yet to find one with OS soap in it but the search goes on. Hoping to find others besides OS. Would like to find a nice Seaforth mug.
I have 4 and a couple large beer steins. I don't think I've ever seen one for a decent price and not bought it.
they make excellent Q-Tip storage containers too

I think I've got about eight, and I've given away a couple.
It's a disease.

Ha! Well played.
Look at this great site to see what you have "Old Spice Collectibles" http://www.oldspicecollectibles.com/Mugs/
Hmmmm... I see those on BST and teh Bay fairly frequently. But the prices are high. Same for OS mugs, If I can get them for less than $20 including shipping I figure i have done well. Lord, I saw a mug, cheapo brush, soap refill combo go for $79 on the bay last week???!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/330798394155?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
No one can resist the finger dingus.
I'm certain I've scrolled through that site's photos before; I don't believe what I remembered showed up. Also, I don't know what a Finger Dingus might turn out to be.
The shipping is what makes them hard for me to buy off ebay along with the fact that a lot of things are overpriced to start with. Im going to a flea market next friday and will see what I can find. Two months ago I found two OS mugs, one for $3 and one for $5 but I think $10 is a more realistic average price around here.

Finger dingus.
Dingusless.
Both images are from the invaluable Old Spice Collectibles site referenced earlier in the thread.
Did you check out the Coffee Mugs section?
This is what I have so far.
Got 4 OS mugs myself. Cant beat em'

The wife's investment
My very first mug was an Old Spice mug (bought it with the soap). I still have it and it is the only OS mug that I have (haven't found any for a quarter yet). After I couldn't get the soap any more I started filling it with Colonel Conk almond.
I have 2 Old Spice mugs, both dingusless. Paid $12 each for them from an antique shop in Snohomish, WA. If I ever see any for $3 (what the OP paid), why would I want to resist buying it?

My oldest is a NIB pre-WWII Hull Pottery with the wood veneer box. Apparently they got the wood from Japan, so that didn't go much beyond 1940.
My favorite is a made in Belgium mug that was my dad's.
