Wow, those mugs are in great shape !!Found these at an antique place. Ever Ready SE, and a Old Spice shave mug made in Belgium.
They also had a 2 Star Brass 3 piece razors, and a Dame Stoddard 'HUB' straight razor, but I don't know enough about them to know if the razors were worth what they were asking. The Star razors looked to be solid brass, so I might go back and get them.
the Dame Stoddard would likely need to be honed, but I don't know if it is worth it.

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 ?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.

Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate that.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.
