I have a number of soaps melted into pyrex type bowls, and in a couple of french soup mugs, but my main "mug" is a small stainless steel mixing bowl.

Thanked: 17Not to forget The StainShield! (and a TIP!)
Add the Rubbermaid "StainShield" containers to your list! I keep about a dozen different soap cakes in these, stacked. They are thick, very clear, unbreakeable plastic, with tight lids. They travel well, too.
You guys go to colleges/schools? Most schools these days offer a shaving mug logo'd with the schools' crest on it.
TIP:
Many "artsy" boutiques which carry pottery from local artisans will have mugs/bowls that are unique, as well! I oftern carry around two cardboard disks I cut out - one for the smaller size cakes (2 1/2" diameter), and one for the larger cakes (3" diameter). When I find an interesting bowl/mug/container, I check it against the discs for sizing!

My soap collection. The pyrex bowls in the front house soaps that I have melted. Missing are my soaps in wooden bowls.

Techy,
The Currier & Ives mugs are nice, but too small. I'll finish using them, but they don't have enough "work room". Once emptied, they will be used for decoration.

This is my new "mug", got it at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Holds a 3" cake of soap perfectly, lots of room to whip up a good lather too. Gonna get the matching toothbrush holder to hold my razors. Well, as soon as I get more than one, that is!
