Been looking all over for a wide mouth, low rim (under 1.5" sides) shaving mug. Anyone steer me towards one?

Lookin' for a mug

Shulton Old Spice. Ebay is full of them for a few bucks a pop. You can also usually find one in a thrift store if you look long enough.
What about going to a local potter and having one made?
+1 on the Old Spice mugs. You can either scare one up on the bay, or look at your local antique malls. The antique shops around here usually have at least 1 or 2, and you can probably find them for $5-10. Good luck in your search!
im on the hunt for an old spice mug but id also love to find somethin different and unique.. i wish my father was still teaching so i could get to a kiln, id fire my own
WOW .. that georgetown one is NICE ... now im thinking about that maybe as my next "splurge" in a few weeks... i really like the lip on the inside to hold the lather

Go with the old spice mug. They're always on ebay. Expect to pay anywhere from 10 - 15 dollars. It was made for using soaps. If you want to work up a lather with cream, look for a taller mug. The rubber (ugly green color) Marvy is a good choice.

Michael,
I don't know if you'll find anything with sides at about 1 1/2", but try the local $1.00 stores, they usually have an entire aisle of dishes, bowls and mugs. Sometimes they have those large soup mugs. that will give you enough room the lather.

You can get some awesome mugs and bowls in many places, for next to nothing. I don't see the fascination with fancy bowls, it's only for mixing soap and water together.
From time to time you can find on ebay very cool vintage shaving mug. I find two Gerold from west germany like this but with another image
