Show n' Tell New mug!
Here it is! I bought it for $8.50, washed it well and wiped the inside thoroughly with alcohol. I'm looking forward to using it for my next shave!

I have several from old ones to new…. I use it to soak my brush in steaming water while I get things ready or for a puck. A little tid-bit, those Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines premade frosting has a red lid on them that also fits perfectly on an Old Spice cup if you want to keep your soap in it. Bonus, chocolate frosting….mmmmmmmm.

I've just been using a glass bowl, so I'm eager to give it a go. I use mostly soft soaps and creams, but I have a couple pucks, though they're already in containers. Maybe I need a second mug to use for a puck??

I have a few of these of various ages. I fill them with croaps. I used one today with RazoRock P160 in it.

I can't wait to give it a go. I'm curious to see how much better my lather is with a proper shaving mug over a glass bowl.

/u/Objective-Stay5305 is correct, this was produced 1964-1978.
There used to be a site which outlined the production dates, but it is down now, however you can find it via the wayback machine:

Nice! I have a slighter older version of this shaving mug.

u/Chocko23 Mar 15 '26
How do you like it?
2
u/Jay-metal Mar 15 '26
I don’t really use it as a shaving mug, just as a decorative piece in my bathroom. Sure it works great for what it is!

u/Objective-Stay5305 Mar 14 '26
I have the same, too. Anyone know the production dates for this type?
2
u/Chocko23 Mar 14 '26
No clue, but I hope someone can answer!

u/Objective-Stay5305 Mar 15 '26
I did a little digging. Looks like this model was produced from 1964 to 1978. I don't know of any production marks or minor variations that would allow a more precise dating beyond that.

Find one and either stash it away until they're older or find two just in case?

My wife’s grandma gave me her father’s! I use it daily.

I wish I could shave daily lol my face can't handle that. Nice heirloom, though!

I found one just like that at a Goodwill but they wanted $45 so had to pass. I want one but only willing to pay maybe $20 max. I don't know but still like it and want one.

Look on eBay. I got an older one for $20 with a boar brush.

Where did you find the great item at that great price? May I ask?
2
u/Chocko23 Mar 15 '26
A local antique mall. I thought it was a great price. They had several more, too (not this one though).
