just got my new puck of Provence Sante (wonderful stuff, by the way) into an unused Mama Bears tub this way. I used the plastic wrap, smash it with the bottom of a shotglass method to pack it in. Wonderful results!
This method works great! Thanks for the info!
I saw this earlier and having a Zyliss grater and a couple of shave sticks I didn't like using as shave sticks, I tried this earlier and milled a Speick into an old diner ceramic mug. Worked great! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the tutorial. I milled my MWF very easily using this process.
Thanks for the info. I am going to give this a shot tonight.
I think I just found a good use for some of the older potter pieces my wife doesn't know how to get rid of. 
off to the dollar store to get a cheese grater and either a cheap coffe mug or ashtray, going to try using a bar of dr. bronners tea tree soap to shave with.
+1 on the dollar store i got a cheap grater and a few cheap sticks of deodorant i then removed the product leaving me with empty containers and milled some soap to make some shaving sticks
Murder murder! The desicration of soap! Can't bear to watch!
One more thank you to Jim for posting this. Just grated a puck of DR Harris Arlington into an old TOBS tub.
Nice demo pics, thanks. Now I can grate my soap.
I really appreciate you posting this article online! Awhile back I was experimenting with a bar of Canus Goat Milk soap and it worked great! Actually better than the DR Harris I'm now using to be honest. But I didnt know how to mill it down to go into a small container for use. So this helps me a ton. Thanks!!!!!!!
Jim, I know this thread is 5-6 years old, but I have two questions,
1. Did you get that Zyliss at Zabars, and
2. What is that bitchin' font you are using with your brother P-Touch labeler!

Gents - Question for ya: I've milled a number of soaps into their own jars and never had this happen. Recently I took a puck of Burts Bees Bay Rum soap, and milled into into a similar dish used in the OP's pics. It did not have a lid. I tell you this because the original packaging of the soap was open to air (not wrapped with anything but a cardboard box w/ a circular hole cut to see the puck) and I know a number of gents use mugs, bowls, whatever without lids.
Anyways, the puck has started to crack and appears to be "rising" a bit. I've included a pic. Is this a concern at all? Should I add a bit of water? Did I not "pack" it in well enough (which I used not only a similar dish a/ wax paper but also used my 240 lb body weight)?
Thanks in advance for the input and feedback.

No worries Bull, its just the water in the soap evaporating, just use it and it will be OK.
I'd do this, but then I'd have to explain why we needed to buy a new cheese grater...
