Thread: Using soap samples???

Let me start off by saying that I feel like I'm missing something extremely obvious here...

However, I have never figured out how to get a good use out of the "sample sized" soaps that a lot of manufacturers give away with a large order or send as samples. I've got about a gallon sized bag (not an exaggeration) of sample tins and jars of soap ranging from <1" diameter to 2" diameter that I've never been able to use.
My issue here is that without painstaking concentration and careful manipulation of my brush, I can't load my brush up with soap to lather correctly because the containers are just too small. In most cases the brush is larger than the container of soap.

So my question is - how do the rest of you use these sample containers? I'd love to put some of the sample's I've been sent to use and try out new soaps that may very well be great but not if I have to spend ten minutes loading my brush. Thoughts?
