Thanks, Doug.

 

Stunning brush Chris.

 

That is the weird thing about central Massachusetts, Cold winters - and Albama humidity in the dog days of summer. Thank God I Have Central A.C. you may be correct - low humidity for the summer - save on electric bill..

 

actually stirling sample pucks are mushy! and they come shrink wrapped. so for 2 bucks u get 1oz - so easy to work with - you rip out shrink wrap. I bought these 3 OZ (or 4?) empty containers off amazon - I like gold so paid extra for gold color - I press the soft soap into the container - than cut out the label on shrink wrap and tape it to the metal container as shown on pic - and BOOM u get a awesome screw on container for 1oz sample puck - ez to load the brush and these will last weeks - for 2 bucks! I have like 10 sample pucks in my own containers - love stirling - the only affordable artisan soap - 1oz sample sizes or refill pucks - they don't force u to purchase a container packed soap.

 

ripping out sounds better than twisting and turning. Now that I think of it, that "baby Clubman" soap I had a few months ago was very easy to twist off.
