So the other day I broke my Shaving mug. I was wondering if any of you guys knew where to get a plastic shave mug? Because I've been looking high and low and I can't find them anywhere.

Marvy makes 2 sizes of plastic shave mugs. They are available on Amazon among other places.
any container with about a 3" opening and deep enough to make lather will work.a cereal bowl a coffee cup ect.

I saw a post where someone purchased one of their collapsible cups for a travel shave mug, but not sure what else they would carry that would work.
I picked up a Wooden Rice Miso Soup Bowl from Amazon this week that is working well for me.
Coffee mug cabinet has a nice supply of odd and end mugs that are great for shaving mugs. Always a good idea to ask the wife if you can have one first, save a knot on the head with a rolling pin.
+1. If that fails, my favorite is a vintage Old Spice mug, which you can still find on eBay at reasonable prices. I have the lid that from a scented candle that is just the right size to sit on top of the mug and keep it reasonably well sealed.Coffee mug cabinet has a nice supply of odd and end mugs that are great for shaving mugs.

I asked her for mug after mug after bowl after bowl. Turns out, each and every one of them was her favorite! So I go on amazon and bought a few ceramic bowls and mugs. I really like the heft and feel of ceramic, and it might be my imagination, but I feel like it lathers better for some reason. The downside being that they are obviously quite breakable, which is clearly not what the OP is looking for, but my point is that a quick search on ebay or Amazon will turn up some good options. But don't search for "shaving mugs," or "shaving bowls," because it won't turn up much, and what it does show is all expensive, or cheap looking, or both. Instead, search for things like "shatter-proof mug," or "wooden bowl."Coffee mug cabinet has a nice supply of odd and end mugs that are great for shaving mugs.

The perfect vessel is out there, waiting for you to find out, and it might be as close so your kitchen.
And if not your kitchen, then the nearest dollar store.
thanks,never hurts to dream big.rail road kill near mena ar.his kids are still out there though.
Interesting thread.... I always thought (been at this for less than a week 
) that porcelain, stone, ceramic was better for lather as it remained warm while you shave. Am I nuts here?
BTW I am using an old cereal bowl that I find too big, but it does the job instead of the $20+ options on amazon

I have looked at the Marvy on Amazon but it appears pretty deep for it's diameter.
+1 on the Vintage Old Spice mug, if you are using hard soap it is great and has the little ridges inside to keep the puck in there. I use a Latte / Coffee mug for bowl lathering. Works great and can be had cheep at most thrift stores.

I have an old Old Spice mug but stopped using because it was too short, lather slopped over the edge. Currently using an Avon mug, it's OK but a bit narrow at the top so I get a lot of clinking while lathering; the Marvy mugs are similarly shaped although they wouldn't clink as much being a softer material. I'll probably try an Apothecary shaped mug next.

I didn't think about folks wanting to keep their lather warm. I do use some warm water to "bloom" the soap while I'm showering, but I lather with a brush that's been soaking in cold water for a few minutes. As such, the wooden bowl works fine for me.
Check out the rubber shave mugs. edit- That's the Marvy

Old Spice mug. Classic style.
Go to a thrift store and buy a boat load for about 10 dollars.
