Thread: What do you do with multiple soaps

I have multiple soaps and wanted to know what other members do with them. I only have one lather bowl so do I need multiple bowls to go with all the soaps, or should I keep the tallow soaps in the containers they came in.

If you bought soap in a wooden bowl, just leave it in there. You don't build the lather in there though, just load the brush and then put away the soap. You can use another bowl (empty of course) for building lather. Or you can face lather.

Personally, I'm too cheap to buy the fancy bowls. So I buy refills and shove it in a mug/bowl/whatever. Those little creme brulee cups from a kitchen store work pretty well for a dollar or two.

If you bought refill pucks, there are plenty of inexpensive options in which to store them. I like the glass Anchor Hocking bowls that you get at Target. They run about $5 or so for 4 bowls with plastic lids. I also use some containers that Momma Bear has available on her site. They are white plastic with black lids and are a good size to hold most any soap puck.

I have a nice engraved wooden bowl and a nice ceramic bowl that stay on my bathroom counter. I have put P.160 and Cella in those as both of those soaps mold easily into those containers.

I eat a lot of greek yogurt and I just clean out those little plastic containers it comes in and put the pucks in there. I set them on a shelf that I built and hung in the bathroom. I pull the label off the little plastic they come in and stick it on the little cup or use a sharpie and write on the side.

Hi,

I grate all my hard soaps into small 'Tupperware' like containers; they are very convenient, and also stop the soaps drying out

Have fun !

Best regards

I only have one mug and one brush and I use that for all my soaps and creams. All the various soaps and creams are kept in the containers that they came in.

I'm w Phat man on this one. Little Glad containers work well for me and my TGQ soaps after I cheese grated them. A step further, I floated the Glad container with the grated soap on top of a pot of hot water on the stove top. Within a minute the soap turned to liquid, I then set aside to cool as the soap takes the shape of the vessel.

If you go to WalMart they have a clear glass bowl with a lid for less than $3. They work great for holding shave soaps. You can either grate the soap to fit the bowl or melt it in the micro wave, if you can. Cold Process made soaps will not melt in the micro wave.

You can get some nice carved soapstone bowls with lids at Walmart, there was a thread about them here just a few days ago. They went for 4$ per bowl, I have 2 of them and am quite happy with them.

I haven't been able to find that thread. Anyone have a link for it?
