So I, like many of you, enjoy trying the myriad of soaps on the market today. Unfortunately, the containers sold with those soaps are ridiculously expensive (e.g. MWF).
Anyway, I found myself thinking on this very conundrum as I wandered through the local hardware store. Then, from the corner of my eye, I spotted a decent solution.
1/2 pint glass jars with metal lids. These are normally used for canning veggies, but I milled a puck of D.R. Harris into one. The size is perfect and it has a screw-on lid. Furthermore, I picked up a case of 12 for less than $9. The glass doesn't leave a cheap feeling like plastic ware, and they are very easy to mark (I used masking tape and a sharpie).
The ones I found are made by Kerr, but I'm sure Ball and Mason make something similar. I hope someone finds this thread useful.
Here are a few pics in case my explanation doesn't do it for you.
With a Vulfix 660 small and a Gillette Tech, for reference.
