    Default Where to get 2" dia. soap for scuttles ?????

    Got a StoneWare Soap Scuttle on eBay...Burleight Staffordshire...

    I saw a lot of really nice, fancy, scuttles, expensive scuttles and cracked & broken scuttles...

    This one was the cheapest at under $10.00 I was happy. Problem is that it takes a really small 2" diameter soap cake....

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Colleen makes some small soaps that look like they might fit - check with her.

    a third suggestion is to take some of Colleen's soap and then take a plastic cup that is 2 in in diameter (the White Dixie 10 oz cups are that size). Melt the soap in a mug or other container using your microwave and 5 sec flashes (watch it closely, it melts fast). Then pour into plastic cup and let harden (swirling the soap will help keep the clay suspended in the soap). Then just push the bottom of the cup to loosen the soap.

    hope that helps

    William's Mug Soap would work as well.
    But Colleen's definately would be nicer.

    Default Another "Yes!" for Colleen's soaps

    I have tried a bunch of her shaving soaps and they are very, very nice! She makes a wide range of soaps, though, some that are more "zesty" than others. Colleen doesn't have a web site but if you contact her she'll send you a description of her different shave soaps. (Ask for her separate list of bath soaps, too!)

    I have pretty sensitive skin. I've enjoyed the Province Lavender and especially Orange Patchouli. The Sandalwood was "invigorating" to say the least. I have a sample of "Black Cavendish" that I haven't tried but may have to use sparingly.

    I use the microwave melting technique that was mentioned above and it works great (but 20 seconds for a 3 oz bar is all you need if you cut it up into smallish pieces.)

    Colleen is very dedicated to her craft and a great addition to this SRP community.
