I found this through an internet ad today for a very reasonable price. I have been wanting to try vintage Old Spice and figured if I ever got my hands on any that I would go for it. Well, now the collector side of me is all geeked out about using a completely untouched and intact mug set. Help me figure out what to do!
Vintage Old Spice - What to do?

Use it. That's what it was made for.
You can't appreciate a soap without using it as a soap. Plenty of it around so go lather up
As I've said before when presented with this dilemma, unless you think you're going to make a fortune by reselling it later, use it and enjoy it.
Otherwise it will sit unused until for whatever reason it passes into the hands of someone else.
If you don't enjoy it now, they will enjoy it later, and you'll be robbed of the experience.

Unless you're running a museum use it.
I was in the same boat years ago. Never did use my NOS mug/set. I already had plenty of empty mugs from flea markets/yard sales so I then bought a half dozen refill pucks and have the best of both worlds one I get to look at and admire and the other used on a regular basis.
Unless you plan on buying more that have already been used, take some good pics of it and use it.
Take it for a spin! I have several vintage soaps that are a joy to use. Old Spice is one of them. Enjoy!
Use it. Can't take it with you when you go. It's just soap, use and enjoy.
QC here!
I'm afraid you'll need to send that to me in order to verify that it's still meets quality standards and is still fit to be used for shaving! If not, I'm more than willing to suffer on your sted until completely consumed!

Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die! Use it and enjoy it!
Might be time to re-start the campaign to get P&G to start up the holiday gift set production again. Bring Back Old Spice Mug/Soap! - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/bring-back-old-spice-mug-soap.596623/

Use it, maybe lather it from the underside to preserve the embossed logo for a while. It is soap, not the Declaration Of Independence.
So I got a sample of this but, I have no idea from when it is from. This smells like my grandpa, and I like it, but, when I tried it for myself in the late 90's I didn't like any of the old spice products I tried, but, that was the deodorant only that I tried. I never used old spice. if I used aftershave back then it was brut, aqua velva or skin bracer. I also used aramis, cause my dad used it, and, Fahrenheit cause one of my girlfriends liked it. I say use it if you can get it. I don't really collect. in thatI like keeping only what I use and a few special items. software though has to be enjoyed. it can be a special occasion thing, but, it is made to be used.
Got these on the way. Grandpa used foam in a can and disposables, but, he did use the aftershave often. I'm sure he used a DE at some point, but, who knows which. Looking forward to this having this for special occasions.
100% use it. Otherwise it’s just gathering dust on the shelf.
Another ‘Use it!’ vote! Life is short, enjoy the journey!!

I found the same thing years ago. Used the soap, it was good. Not the mega soap many think it was compared to today's best offerings, but it is a truly good soap. Now I use the mug for other stuff.
Have fun witht that!
P.S. Oh, and about the A/S. I do like it, as well. In another forum it was determined that the Indian Old Spice is the Shulton your grandpa used to use. They used a mass spectrometer, if you can believe it. Comes in a glass bottle, too. I get them from India and shake them into my Shulton bottle using a small funnel. Great stuff.
