    who doesn't label soap containers when the original soap did not come with a container? I just melt them all into identical containers and if I can't figure out which one it is I smell it and if I still can't figure it out then I don't want to use it. :happy102

    I like to be able to grab the one I want without having to smell all of them, so I have a nice labeling system in place in my medicine cabinet. Now I just need to draw outlines on where each razor belongs...

    the containers are clear so I can usually figure it out by the color and if not I go to smelling it. Should probably put that in the OP

    Take a look at my den link, without those labels, there is no way I could identify anything without opening them. if your soaps all look different, then I can see why you wouldn't bother labeling.

    I haven't used soap in a few months - my creams are superior. I guess that means I need better soaps!

    I saw a Super Speed fishing kit in your den inventory. Anything fishy I love. What is it ? Thanks.

    haha I can definitely tell why you label. I should put up a picture of all my stuff

    I have only seen a few of these, and each has been different, but this is mine:

    Basically a superspeed that came in what Gillette called a "convenient tackle box" with a fishing lure. I think it is pretty cool.

    I don't have anything that didn't come with a label. Or at least a distinctive container like the Floris soap. If I had several wooden tubs of Floris, I would want to label them though.

    It would be helpful if the 3Ts had the flavor printed on the SIDE of the tubs and not just the lid. I really should get a label maker. :)

    I don't label them either Jen. Then again I've been PIF'ing away most of the soaps I bought anyway so it's not much to keep track of at the moment.

    10/4 to TOBS labelling the sides of the containers.

    I label all mine. I have enough trouble figuring out what to shave without guessing what is in the containers.

    People with OCPD like labels too.

    Everything I have that's not in a distinctive container is labeled.

    I had gotten lazy in my labeling over the past year or so. Then, the other day, I found myself sitting there for 10 minutes trying to figure out which soap was which. :confused:

    Out came the Sharpie....

    Indeed! I like creams too, but love my soaps!

    For the first year of straight shaving, I didn't care too much for the hard soaps and they sat unused. Then one day I picked one up and haven't looked back. I don't know what changed, but a good traditional triple milled shaving soap is hard to beat, IMHO...Give them another try.
