This is what I use, in fact I just finished shaving with Cella Crema Sapone Extra Extra Purissima...(going all in - the name for the 1kg block)

I divide the 1kg in to 100g chunks, vacuum seal them and work out of a 100g in the Anchor Hocking 1 cup container with a lid.



We could start a whole other thread on the subject, but this has to be one of the best "Values" in shaving soap - I can see getting 1000+ shaves out of the 1kg bock - that is unless you PIF half of it as many of us do in our efforts for the cause...

Over here I use these stainless steel tins for soaps such as Vitos just squash them in.

Most makers of soap dishes for shaving do not have covers for them. If you want the cats meow Georgetown Pottery makes a covered dish just right for soaps in their usual patterns. As I recall they call them butter dishes.

Excellent tip. I may just go that route. Kind of spendy but you often get what you pay for.

Cella Sapone Is a semi cream,you need to keep it hydrated to a point,has to be kept in a sealed container.

I have found that glass covered sugar bowls work well for many of the hard soaps I use. And they look really classy too when lined up.
Unsure how it would be for Cella.
Here's a view of the bowls I use... Good luck.

Hello to All,

I cut the Cella brick into ca. 200 g chunks, and bung the chunks into these Klip Lok containers :

Sainsbury's

They have a hermetic seal, and are freezer safe (which is where I store the containers that are awaiting use).

There is enough space in them to load the brush as you would a conventional hard soap.

Have fun

Best regards

Excellent suggestions as usual. I now have several ideas.

Thank you all.
