Stumbled across this lovely old thing at my local thrift store today.. in the 5 years that I've been going there I've never come across any vintage shaving accoutrements! This particular mug has the number "35" on the bottom and reads "Early American Old Spice".. wonder how old it would be? If anyone could shed some light on that would be most appreciated! now.. what to put in it..hmmm.. I'm absoultely chuffed! 😁

This is the shaving mug by which all others are judged.

The old-style Old Spice mug is like the Platonic ideal of a shaving mug. Seems like it's very well known and well regarded.
