I was really lucky to get an Old Spice mug complete with soap (and lid) this week:
The mug seems to match those on the old spice collectible website from the late 1960's. But the untouched soap that came in it weighs 5 oz which, according to the same site, was supplied from the mid 1940's to 1959.
I'd imagine that maybe the soap was bought as a refill before the owner got a new mug? Or a newly produced mug was filled with an unsold refill? Perhaps there were just left over refills or a special offer on.
Anyway, I finally worked up the courage to use it today and all I can say is WOW, WOW and DAMN. I was incredibly frugal with loading my brush since it is a rare item but, using the method I mentioned here, it produced what I would have to call the best lather I've ever had:
The soap has a very faint scent, which I imagine is due to it losing scent but it performs so, so well. It is slick, cushiony, light and "clingy" (in a good way) all at the same time. To anyone that has a fair stock of this - I salute you! It's a great soap and I just wish they would make it again.
