I love the full size Soap Commander and APR containers no wasting that goodness out the sides 
Pics or it didn't happen Nav. 
I HATED my first Proraso Red tub. I preferred a simpler square bottomed shape and wanted a screw-on lid. Then, after using several different soaps in different containers... I discovered that the Proraso tub was the easiest to hold while loading and the snap-off/on lid was effortless in use (no chance of cross-threading), fast, and secure.
So after educating myself by experiencing different containers... my Proraso tub checks all the boxes.

I love them (and of course keep the empties).

Excellent! Thank you Nav.
The best part is that even with a huge, brand new puck...There's plenty of height to prevent overflow.
Also, after several uses, the puck expands to fit the container perfectly.
This container would be my #1 recommendation for MWF given this soap produces a particularly frothy proto-lather as compared to other soaps.

The Wickham 1912 container is my favorite of the inexpensive, simple containers which come with a brand of soap. Plenty of extra room. A good screw-on lid.
The MdC plastic jar is incredibly nice, and it works perfectly for MdC. No extra room, but you need no room with MdC. The jar is better than a heavy glass jar, I believe, because it is not likely to break. It looks like heavy glass.
I love the beautiful ceramics but I know how slippery things get and how easily things are broken in the bathroom. Still, I'm thinking of buying one, and it isn't cheap (credit/blame to Rave @Raven Koenes).
Happy shaves,
Jim
For holding a refill puck, the best is the Anchor Hocking glass bowl you can get super-cheap at Walmart or anywhere.
I also like Mama Bear plastic containers, as the fill level is far enough from the top of the container that you can lather in the container and not worry too much about spill-over.
But for looks alone, I'd go with these:

I’m not a fan
That's a beauty.
I dropped my Tabac soap dish in the bathroom once. It was a sad day.
Thank you, I like it a lot.
Stirling,B&M,Chise Chi Face and Soap Commander
I'm always ready to repurpose
Found this at a thrift and knew what was going in it

I like Stirling's because they're simple, right sized and gets the job done, but my favorite container is the MWF ceramic bowl. I kind of like the Boellis Panama Coffret but it's to big for my hand. I have to set it on a cloth and lather from it that way which actually works really well.
I think the BP bowl hurts up front. I lucked out as I.B. had it on sale 2 weeks ago for 90 bucks so I got the bowl. upfront I think the Nuavia beats it for price but then once its empty, you can get the B.P. brick for um was it 50 bucks? then I think the BP wins out
edit f.w.i.w. I have 1 Nuavia and another scent on the way. I'm pondering sending Panna Crema an email suggesting they do a refill option. I don't see a point in buying that ceramic container every time I need a new Panna Crema
