MWF & Stainless Steel Bowl.to mill or not to mill?

[Okla1911]

This is the first loose soap puck I have purchased & the stainless bowl I got to go with it. Will the puck affix to the bottom of the stainless bowl or will it need to be milled and pressed. The bowl diameter is a little larger than that of the puck. Thanks in advance!

Milling it with a cheese grater will make it easier to lather. Although its its not necessary, I would do it particularly if you have a floppy brush. It should look nice in that stainless bowl after milling.

Or wet the soap and put it in the bowl. After drying it will stick to the bottom.

I hate milling soaps. They seem to soak up more water and it changes the scent, esp for a soap like MWF.

Just wet your hand and rub one side of the puck and just stick it down into the container and leave it to dry for a couple of hours. It will be held securely in place.

If it doesn't, take a little piece of soap, wet that, put it under the puck and press it down. Then enjoy one of the best soaps in the universe!

I'm with nav on this one - don't. For MWF I'd get a different bowl before I'd mill, in the event you were unhappy with your bowl.

Ive got mwf but in the ceramic holder. The first time I used it, which was my first soap, I happened to put to much water onto the puck and its seemed to have stuck to the bottom and has never moved since. That was roughly 3 months ago and I've moved home since too.
I did see some guy put a post up which he super glued a couple off ball bearings into the bottom of the bowl to stop it moving, apparently it worked a treat.
