Hey, I was wondering. I need to order more shave den shaving soap and there is an option for a container or just the soap. I already have a container from the last purchase. Will the order option for just the soap by itself fit into the old container? Anyone know?
I'm not sure. If so, will heating the soap ruin the menthol at all? I would definitely re-use the existing container as there is nothing wrong with it. No sense in throwing more plastic in the trash.
I had to grate mine and press it into the container, it wouldn't just set in there. If you melt it, do very short bursts in the microwave. If you get it too hot, the fragrance can be affected, some EOs have a low boiling point. Its actually easier to grate it with a cheese grater, and press it in. Note: Wife was not impressed with me using the kitchen cheese grater, so I bought her a new one, and have a soap grater now.
I bought a small food processor at Good Will for $5 to keep the peace at home. Happy wife ... happy life!
I used a salad shooter. We never used it anyway, so i didn't replace it (cept for back in the pantry closet). Besides all I cut was soap, warm water and a bit of elbow grease, good as new (as good, it was never out of the box, and hasn't been used since). But the soap (grated) presses in nicely, a bit water, a little time to set up, it'll be as it'd it was always in the container.
