I actually tried that with the Wool Fat but ended up taking it off because it got wet and didn't work out too good. I have to find a way to label the soap dish because I can tell the collection is going to get big pretty fast LOL

As for a cheap container & lid, sugar bowls work really well, are very inexpensive and look good in the shave den.
Ryan, after I read your post about drying/cracking I went and looked at the Wool Fat and did notice some cracking. I also took a look at my AOS soap (which has a wooden bowl) and sure enough, no cracking.
I am going to take a look at other containers and possibly get some with covers.

Thank you for all the responses! I guess I will play it by ear but it looks like I will probably get my next couple of dishes with covers.
Thanks!!!

The poor mans soap mug cover
With shaving mugs that dont have tops, I use on old CD-R disc with some tape covering the hole and just set it on top. Easy Peezey. Its good because you can stack another soap/cream on top of it as well.
