Who uses an Old Spice Shaving Mug?

[Scootz19]

I have a "hull pottery" mug that i just use to soak my brush while showering. I have a larger bowl for lathering. Its a nice piece to have on MY side of the bathroom vanity.

I have an Old Spice mug with a Mama Bears mug puck in it, and I also have a Robert Becker scuttle I use with cremes.

I have an Old Spice Mug and bought one for my brother as well; our father still has his old one. I use mine for loading and sometimes mug lathering.

I have one of each of the 15 sold here in the US. I also have a couple still in the box. Love OS, Father used it as did his dad.

I've got the late 40's Friendship that houses my Klar soap nicely........BTW, great pix on this thread!

I’ve got three, a pre-war one (see photo) that always holds a puck of Mitchell’s Woolfat plus a couple of 1950’s vintage for other soaps I might be trying.

Not as big as modern mugs but keep down the waste as it gods just enough lather for a 3 pass shave.

Hi,

I have six (I think) of the ones from the early 80s. I use one with a glycerine and tallow soap mix I make up myself. Two still have Old Spice in them. I got them in 96 after my dad passed. I shave with it on special days. The rest are spares.

I have 3 OS Mugs and 1 still has the original soap in it.

I use my Old Spice Mug to store/lather Williams. Does the job well.

I have the recovery, holds a pressed arko stick, my go to for a quick lather.

I use this Shulton Old Spice mug made by Wade with grated MWF which I have seeded with vintage Shulton Old Spice. The mug lid is recessed to form a brush rest. Quite a rare mug.

I use one sometimes. Nice mug. For years it was the only one I used but I own several types of mugs.

I have found 4 OS shaving mugs floating around in the wild, plus I grabbed a Belgian produced mug with a puck in it off BST.

Here are the four I hunted down:
Hull Pottery 03 - 1944 to early 1950s
> Ship Friendship (Williams)

Early Glass Mug 05 - Late 1950s to 1960
> Shaving Mug, unnamed Ship Friendship image (RR Lime)

Late Glass Mug 02 - 1964 to 1978
> Ship Grand Turk both sides, big script opposite handle (Col Conk Amber)

Late Glass Mug 04 - Mid 1970s to 1992
> Recovery and Grand Turk on opposite sides (Arko)

Also found one of the coffee mugs. I visit an ‘Old Spice collectibles’ (take the spaces out) website for good info and a typology of the mugs.

I have a couple of Old Spice mugs.

Here is the one I use for Haslinger Schafmilch.

I have two, perfect for Fine American Blend pucks

Cheers

Plenty of wow factor for that mug! I won’t find one in the wild on this side of the pond. Thanks for the great photos. I hadn’t realized there was a brush rest in the cover. That’s an idea to consider when I turn a few wooden OS mug covers once the weather improves.

And the creamy Manchurian knot is excellent color coordination!

Oh yeah. I love this little thing. I don't have, or want, an expansive collection of shave gear, but this bad boy gives off more ambience than two dozen brushes and razors.
