OK, perhaps a sorta dumb question, but... curious to as how folks that switch out their soaps store the used soaps? I have one of the two soaps I have been using in an Old Spice mug and the other in a short dish. I'd like to swap out and try other soaps I have lined up, waiting to be used. Do you place them in small tupperware-like cases, or in small zip lock bags? Or ? Thanks in advance!!

I use the little tupperware cases and they work fine. Ziplock bags will work as well. They're both cheap and convenient, plus you can stash them away easily.
I have about 4-6 soaps open at any given time, mostly in wooden bowls. If they are hard soaps, I wouldn't worry about putting them in airtight unless its convenient. I do have rubber lids on some 1 cup Pyrex dishes that I use for samples, but thats more so because the lids came with the dish, not because I felt the need to have them on there.
Little Pyrex glass bowls with lids or porcelain ramekins (tough to find ones with lids though)
Ziplock bags
If I'm not using a soap for a while I'll cover the mug with cling wrap until I come back to it.
Mike's tins have lids as does my Vostok wood bowl. That is what I use.
Hmmm. I've got about 40 open soaps. They're in wooden bowls, metal tins, ZipLoc bags, plastic jars. It really doesn't seem to matter.
I've been using these glass bowls from Crate and Barrel - http://www.crateandbarrel.com/organizing-and-storage/food-storage/mini-ribbed-bowl-with-lid/s417699
They're inexpensive, big enough to hold a full puck of tabac or Mike's, and narrow enough to fit in my medicine cabinet.

Thanks everyone for the responses, and for not smacking me on the forehead with a "you chowderhead!" for asking. 
I like the 6 oz Lockups from hobby lobby. Plastic tub with lid and they can lock together. They also offer them in 1.5, 8 and 12 ounce versions.

That looks great! I might have to get that a shot. Do you have a good source for the petri dishes?Similar threads
