Thread: In Need Of A New Mug.

Here's your answer...perhaps a replacement: These are on eBay.ca
Shave mugs, Col Conk | eBay
or, perhaps better:
Shave mugs, apothecary style | eBay
Good hunting!

If you really wanted to go this route I would recommend checking out local colleges. Not sure how it is in Canada, but in the US just about every college offers ceramics, and the students are always offering goods for sale at campus art shows. You could meet the artists and even commission a piece. The students in my area are usually pretty talented, and always looking to make a buck or two.

Thanks Bob, but I could not find anything I liked at Fendrihan or Classic Edge. I ended up going with Leatherstockings suggestion of a vintage Old Spice mug, and I found one on E-Bay last night that had free shipping. Thanks everyone, this should solve my mug problem, I just hope this one doesn't slide off the sink!
I'll post a pic of it when it arrives.

Here is the mug I chose, it has arrived in the mail. Excellent condition, it will work well.

Glad you found a mug.
Just returned from a trip to a flea market in Abbotsford where i found these.
Looking forward to trying one out......

The old spice mugs are great especially the older milk glass ones, best deal out there if you look for them last two I got was for 2$. Tc

My favorite mug is still the old Marvy Green plastic mug. Second is the cheap bowl that comes with the VDH set. I own quite a few vintages Williams, Seaforth, OS etc but the first two mentioned are the ones I like and use the most.

UPDATE:

I love this mug, I filled it with Proraso green, and have been using it constantly since it arrived. Thanks for all of the input, gents.

It's good to hear that the mug works for you. The OS mugs are great for face lathering. If I remember correctly, my Tabac puck fit the mug well straight from the box.

Saw these at walmart today
