One more question, since I am thinking of getting either taylor or D.R. Harris soap, what if I ordered the soaps in those wood bowls that it comes in...its not much more more expensive, and I could travel with it...would that work just as well???
How about "maybe"! The only soap I have in a wooden bowl is a JF Floris soap. I love the soap, but it is messy to work up the lather. Before you spend the big bucks, stick with raiding the kitchen for a bowl and see how that works. If that is successful, pick up the ZipLoc containers and see how that works. The containers are available in several shapes, and I use the round ones. They come with lids and make storage easy. If you are still successful with these containers, the I would say go for the wooden bowls. Otherwise, you may find that a highly recommended soap that you spent good money for is not working...and it's a water thing! That would be a disappointment. If you know of anyone that has a water softener system installed, that's another way to find out if it is your water.
