Square-shaped Pyrex soap containers vs round?

[msouthern]

Has anyone used square-shaped Pyrex containers for Italian-Style soft soaps?? Does it matter whether the container is square shaped or round?

In the past, I bought 1 cup round containers with a sealable lid... But lately, the only Pyrex-branded ones in that size that I can find are square... Is it as easy to lather a square container as round?

I wouldn't go square. It's completely counter intuitive based upon how we load.

Your brush would be banging into the sides and soap would be all over the corners.

Buy a Mike's tin, use it up and keep it for your next soap whatever that is.

I have a square container and it works fine, if the surface becomes uneven the soft soap can easily be pushed down in the corners. Actually I kind of like it, it's fun as a change of pace!

Try it, there's nothing to lose.

Agreed.

You can get these online, they are what I use almost exclusively. I even 86ed the nice DR Harris wood bowl because I liked the higher sides on this to contain the lather.

I purchased a six pack of these:

They seem to go on sale for less than $10 a six pack from time to time. That being said I could easily see where a square container was aesthetically pleasing and if that is the case I would have no problem using one.

Either. I swirl , twirl, pump, and twist when I load. I've got round square, elliptical, flared, soap containers. It's what catches my eye. And finally the math which does require a leap of faith: A square has 4 corners of 90 degrees each x 4= 360 degrees--a circle. See I told ya'!
O thar be more. The top hat is 50's milk glass. The Mug is Anchor Hocking WW2 Navy mug
and a neato milk glass powder jar 30's and a Fire-King Baking dish with lid and The squares are soap stone jewelry boxes with lids. I'll post pics at some point. And tomorrow I'll go to my friends shop and get the Fiesta Ware dish with lid. have fun!!!

If you try to make lather using circular motions in a square bowl you might just rip a hole in the time space continuum. I wouldn't attempt it.

I disagree--you could end up with more time to shave...
