    After you use puck a couple of times and want to use a different one, what do you do with the first puck after you pry it from the bowl? Toss it in a plastic baggie?

    Why pry it from the bowl?
    I buy small, clear bowls at the Dollar Store. Puck never leaves. I shave in the morning, let it dry through the day, put the bowl in a zip lock bag.
    Not only does it keep dust out between uses, it allows me to stack all my bowls.

    Are these small, clear bowls made of glass or plastic? No lids?

    How many bowls do you have in that bag?

    I'm currently using Stirling soap out of the supplied plastic container. If I purchase a soap that doesn't come in a container, I place it in one of these Rubbermaid containers or an empty soap container from a previous purchase.

    For "loose" pucks I use the little "tins" from dollar tree... They work great and they have some with magnets on the bottom and they work great for stacking or whatever.. BTW, they come in multiple sizes also...

    There are actual soap jars with lids available from different vendors. When I use them for a loose puck like a refill I cut part of the packaging it comes in and rubber cement them on top of the lid. Example below.

    The reason I mentioned the ones I did is because the ones I was mentioning are cheaper and can have the labels attached also as this shows.....

    Soaps that don’t come from the vendor in their own jar are mostly in Old Spice mugs. The plastic lids from cake frosting cans make good covers for them.
