    Default Is there an alternative to the "Apothecary," mug?

    I think this is the right place for this.

    At any rate, I like the design of the "Col. Conk Apothecary Shave Mug," but can not stand that "Col. Ichabod Conk," stencil on the side of it.

    Anyone know of one that's like this but lacking the advertisement on it?

    As far as the classic Apothecary design, that's about the cheapest you'll find. I'd imagine you could risk a used DE blade and delete the Conkster from the side of the mug and save some dough.
    Or, you could use a wide-mouth latte mug, go with a scuttle, etc.

    Edwin Jagger offers a porcelain apothecary style mug in a few colors too.

    I've seen them at The English Shaving Co or Best Grooming Tools.

    Try cruising a local crafts show or crafts shop. My bowl was hand thrown by a local artisan, and serves me well.
