Heres a little project I did to solve that niggling problem- the moving soap puck in a cup/mug/bowl. I superglued ball bearings to the base of the container to create grooves for the soap to grip to, Simple! Useful for those soap samples.
I used 3mm ball bearings and dont recommend larger bearings you can use even smaller. It basically fixes the soap puck to any bowl/mug/tray for when swirl loading your brush. The bearings are hidden by the soap.
I individually placed a drop of superglue on the utensils surface and dropped a bearing onto the glue drop. I timed the glue drying to be sticky/rigid to hold the bearing in place for those angled sufaces. Place glue drop and ball bearing one at a time to get it right. Once solidified, I placed another drop over each bearing to secure it even further.
The usual cautions apply: makes sure the surfaces are dry and clean.
I originally did this to hold my Klar Kabinett soap cut slices in their original shape. But then decided to grate it into a bigger modified bowl. Grated the soap and then pressed into the bowl. Admittedly, I modified the bowls for soap pucks and neither Klars nor Mdc soaps needed the ball bearings in the base, but a new OCD is created. I might just do it for all my containers. Heck I might even modify my MWF ceramic bowl as that puck is starting to bother me
Klars Kabinett bowl. There are ball bearings glued inside the bowl but I didnt take pictures:

Ive now combined both my MdC stash (the wooden bowl and the glass butter dish) into one bigger stoneware bowl. As MdC doesnt come with a lid, any container is apt really.
There you go!
