Just ordered three cased Gillette Tech sets from UK:
Artist club blade sampler from Try A Blade.
I ordered the aluminum slant from Mr.Fine in anticipation of slantember.
Soap Commander Fortitude soap and balm. Looking for that fall scent.
A new Captain's Choice shaving bowl 
Wow, those mugs are in great shape !!
Bought three new soaps/creams late yesterday. Found Derby Lemon cream on the cheap and since I have never used anything but the shave sticks so I figured it was worth a gamble. If it sucks I will only lose $6, and I've spent more than that on much dumber things. Also added a tub of Omega shave soap, and Henri et Victoria Lime shave soap.
I ordered the .68OC base for my GC from IB
From a small Chemist earlier today;
2x60g Taylor Sandalwood (Travel Size) £5
1 Kent Soap Puck £5.50
1 Palmolive Stick 99 Pence.
I didn’t need them, but at those prices!

It was just the one mug. But it really is in great shape. It's an earlier mug, before they started putting in the ridges to hold the puck. I've picked up 3 more OS mugs since then, all in excellent shape.

The one in the pic is certainly a great find. I have two of them that I thought were old as I inherited them from my grandfather, but they do have the ridges in them. I guess I just assumed they were old because they are so faded, barely legible in fact. I'm curious as to when or about they started to add the ridges, any idea ?
From what I have found, they started adding them in the '50's, as indicated here.
This is the main website were that information is found: Old Spice Collectables.
There is also a good youtube channel called The Gentleman's Club that has good info it's various videos.
I stumbled upon Marc's youtube website while researching the mug that I posted here.
I'll send you some pics of all my mugs here in a bit in the message area.
Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate that.
Wow so that mug in the pic is at least pre 1960 !?? That's amazing that you found one in such great shape !
And yes, I'd love to see pics of what you've got in your collection, Thank You
Thought I’d see how the other half lives. I’m #21 GRUME for September. Needed a fix. Nice stuff lads!
Today I ordered some Fine lavender soap and splash because it ‘fell’ into my cart!
