There's a barbershop near my house which sells it. The Egyptian version is written in Arabic and English. I speak Arabic perfectly and I read and write it.

The tube is a little smaller and made of plastic. Here's a photo of the Egyptian Ingram Blue.

 

Thanks my dear friend!

 

Great, thanks for the pic will be looking for that one locally.

 

Closed. Post your SOTD HERE

Hey ObiDon,

I have that identical mug, got it at a flea market for .94 cents. I have not been able to find any info on it, really seems to be rare. Do you know much about it?

 

I would also like to thank you Jeff AKA @crackstar thanks to your beautifully worded reviews I discovered Stirling Soaps.

 

First, you got a GREAT deal on that mug!
The 1985 Blue or Black mug came in a gift set; the traditional looking style mug was not sold commercially but rather was given out as a promotional item.

This mug is heavy pottery with a deep blue or black glaze and came in two different sets in 1985. One set included a shaving brush and razor while the other included only the brush. The only decoration is the single white ship in silhouette. I believe this may have been distributed outside the U.S. market because it is dated 1985 yet the packaging is not consistent with the 1981 logo change. The back of the box is marked "Old Spice Accessories made under license from Shulton, Inc. 1985" "Made in Taiwan R.O.C. for Cosrich Inc., Perth Amboy, NJ 08861" Dimensions: 3.25" high by 5" rim to handle.

The mug I have Cobalt Blue one, and it is my favorite mug, as you can see by all of my SOTD photos it showed up in. I was so worried about breaking it I picked up a complete set like the one in this picture. Mine is NOS and, the box is better than this picture. They show up on the bay from time to time, and if there is no bidding war you can pick a set for $40. I have seen them go for over $100.
