I have only order soaps with their respective bowls twice. The first was some Crabtree & Evelyn soap, which I didn't like much, but I did save the bowl. And I recently ordered Mitchell's Woolfat Soap with the ceramic dish, just because I thought it was cool looking.

Every other soap I either melted or grated into some other container. For a long time I was only using TGQ soaps and they fit nicely into my mug, so I would just use one puck until it was gone and then move onto the next. Lately however I have wanted some variety, so I am going to have to look into getting some more containers.
