I got a surprise for Xmas that I was not expecting. My grandmother gave me my grandfathers shaving mug with soap still in it and a nylon brush. I do not know the age of the items or the value because to me they are priceless. My mom had told her that I started wet shave and she dug them out from who knows where. My grandfather past away back in 1976 when I was 9 years old. She did not know how old the items were but she said that he had used an electric razor for years, which I was given several years ago but have never used. None the items have maker marks on them and they not top of the line products but they are mine and I am happy with that. I will be trying them Saturday which is the day that I save for my good shave.

Very nice and definitely something to treasure!
Cool gift!
sweet set up! very nice
The red dot on your mug is the remainder of the Seaforth logo. This is a Seaforth mug. Seaforth made aftershave, mugs, and matching soap (which is awesome tallowy goodness), and was a competitor of Old Spice.

That is a sweet memory of your granddad! Try the soap, and if you like it, use it. I would display the mug and the brush in your shave den.
Here is a Seaforth Heather Aftershave bottle. It contains my witch hazel which I use everyday.

I am surprised that you guys were able to identify the mug. I was talking to my Mother to day and emailed her a picture of the ad and she says she remembers seeing my grandfather using the shaving lotion jug. It brought back some nice memories
. Thank you for the information.
That is Awesome. I got to spend some time with both my grandfathers over the weekend, but neither one of them have any of there old shaving gear.

I finally have a weekend that was not full of stuff to do. I have used the soap and the brush for my Saturday and Sunday shaves. I do not know what brand of soap is in the mug but that stuffs makes great lather
. I used the nylon brush and face lathered on Saturday and my badger brush and face lathered on Sunday. Both day I had plenty of rich thick lather for 3 passes and touch up. I like this soap better than the modern soap I have been using. I think I will use the soap for those special shaves. The brush did a fine job but I think I will just put that up on the shelf for decoration and the memories.
