The Palmolive shave sticks are quickly becoming one of my favorite soaps. people have complained about shave sticks not coming in convenient holder. I found that the T-13 and T-16 size prescription pill bottles fit the shave sticks perfectly. If you wanted, you could drill out a hole in the bottom bit enough for your finger, then you would never have to take it out of the container and just push up from the bottom.
Oh, I must to look for these stick holders some place. I have empty pill bottles that I use for an Arko stick, or another stick, but for my Palmolive, Speick, and Wilkinson sticks, I need to produce a holder.
Thanks Bong, I was thinking that route, but you saved me the trouble of working out what size was best! Now I just need to figure out what size should I get for my brush.
Great idea Bong! If you ask at your pharmacy, they will usually give you an empty bottle. I took my travel brush with me and we found one that fits it perfectly. Check out the Homemade Cases thread for a easy to make and functional razor case too!
40 DR is big enough diameter wise, but not tall enough for even my smallest brush. See if you can track down a 60 DR, those are taller, and should fit and brush, they are bulky though. Most of my friends are pharmers, and my sis works in a pharmacy if you guys are wondering how I know so much about these rx bottles.
I suppose I could post this over there in that thread... but I usually just travel with a three piece razor in an altoids box. Cut a little foam to keep things from hitting and simple little lux/feather portable/tech/new/old style case.
I cut foam to fit this cool little black tin with a wizard on it. I got it at a smoke shop. Altoids tins are popular razor cases I think.
That is a great idea Bong! I was wondering what to do with mine. I'll have to hit up some pill junkies!
Awesome idea. The other day I was looking for a pill bottle but mine are too small. Does the handle of the stick fit in the bottle as well?
No, sorry. That's why I added the drilled hole in the bottom idea. You can also pull part of the stick out and grip the pill bottle with the hand and soap with the finger and this works well.
Just found out an EJ/CE BBB will just fit in a 30. The shave stick will fit in this with the handle, but it big for the stick still.
I'm bumping this up, as some of our newer members, and those making shave sticks lately may be interested. This idea works and drilling the hole in the bottom to push the stick up makes the whole thing mess free.
You are quite welcome, Teiste. I also cut a circle of light plastic from a package that I was throwing away and dropped it down into the bottom of the bottle under the shave stick. I push against the plastic disc through the hole drilled in the bottom and the foil wrapper isn't damaged. I leave the foil on and peel it off as I use the stick. It's worked out very well.
