Found a nice way to keep a selection of 5 stacked at counter top.

Cost Plus sells stackable coffee cups in a chrome wire rack.
For the creams the medium rack, at approx 4 inches diameter, remove the coffee cups insert the tubs.

For soaps I got the larger mugs. Leaving the cups in the rack, the puck of soap is always covered. Nice to always have a quick choice at hand.

dirtychrome,

Ingenious to say the least. Did you purchase the 9 oz. stackable mug set for your creams and the jumbo stakable mugs for your soaps?

EDIT: yes 9oz looks like they are the ones for cremes and jumbo for soap.
I just went to WorldMarket.com and that does look like what I use for cremes and at only $9.99! The jumbos here at $14.99 also look like what i use for soap. No need reading below, unless you want the long original reply.

Nuts...don't remember what they package as. Just now filled a med mug with water, the 'creme size', and the measuring cup said 8oz. 20oz filled the large 'soap size'.

As memory tells me, they sell a small espresso size, that's too small (although maybe ok to mix/store fragrant oils or some such use).

What I call medium is what I use for the cremes, and a large that I use for the soaps. Something like $20 or $30 I think in black, red and white; then again that is memory so don't kill me if I got it wrong.

Originally had the 'soap' size for regular kitchen use, but I dropped one, cracking one of the handles. With a little JB Weld, epoxied the handle on fine, but that's what led me to realize perfect for the soaps. Out of the 6 large mugs, put pucks of soap in bottom 5, labeled the mugs so I easily can find what I want. The top mug I keep a sealed soap, currently Proaso. No soap smells escape.

I actually brought one of the tubs in with me when I made later trip to get the 'creme size'. It was initially about 1/4" tight. Being just wire rod, with a natural division where the mug handles normally stick through, it was no issue to stretch just a little at the top and they slide in perfect fit. My lather bowl sits perfect, inverted on top of the stacks of cremes. Nicely drying it out.

The bottom tub stays about 1/4" off the counter top=no water traps under it if aggressively splashing. When clean up time comes around sooo easy to grab the two sleeves to move out of the way, without juggling a bunch of soap containers and a lather bowl.

cremes, i have the following:


the bomb: siagon
co bigelow
tobs: shaveshop

pucks i have a partial of williams, and some soap made by a local in mt crawford va. getting ready to order some mwf here very soon, i might even order some tabac when i do.

I've got a few creams, but I'm more of a soap guy.

- Trumpers Sandalwood
- CF Lime
- Penhaligons Endymion

If I had to pick the best of the bunch, Penhaligons would win by a mile. Their creams are easy to lather, provide great cushion and glide and smell amazing.

That Endymion definately gives the slickest smoothest lather of all my creams.

Zero

I associate creams with the DE and soaps with the straight.
