    Default found some great soap containers

    I've had my eyes open for a while for something to put soaps in. I don't much want to pay extra for a wooden bowl with the soap and then have a bunch of different sized and shaped containers and not be able to stack them. I was in a local dollar store today and found some tubs of moisturizer, $1.25 each, 3.5 inches across and 1.5 inches deep with a flat screw on cap. Scraped out the gunk and gave it to my mother and washed out the tubs. The stickers on it are a plastic type and peel off cleanly. So I bought 8 of them. Now I have to buy more soaps.

    If you put the moisturizer in a bigger container, add some Noxema, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, and some eucolyptus extract you would have an awesome pre-shave balm, enough to last you for the rest of your life!

    Wally world sells Pyrex glass containers with rubber lids. $9 for 4 of em. A little more pricey, but I like the glass and they stack nicely?

    I have some cool ice cream bowls that stack inside each other with room for the soap at the bottom. So the bowl on the top is open to air but the other ones are sealed up.

    Here are three out of the four, I had to label them because they all look the same to me after grating.
