And I am NOT skimping on lather in the morning -- in fact, just the opposite, because I now use a stiff boar brush to make mountains of lather and I shave with three full passes. It's just that, instead of dissolving in the bottom of a mug, the soap is now being used entirely on my face for lather.

Seriously, the soap lid costs about $15, and a good puck of shaving soap costs about $12, which means that this soap lid basically pays for itself in less than two months!

I've actually started using the little plastic tubs from Mama Bear (Soap Tub) They work quite well for the same thing, but cheaper... However, Oskar's dishes are more aesthetically pleasing, that's for sure!
