Those of you that use differant pucks / soaps regularly, what do you keep them in?

I have some 1-cup Anchor Hocking bowls, with lids, that I keep my soaps in.
A couple of popular choices are ziploc containers and Pyrex containers.
Most of my soaps came in their own bowls (D.R. Harris, MWF, Cella, etc). Those that didn't come in their own bowls I keep in pyrex containers.
I can't help you. I've got 24 shaving mugs. Only soaps in a couple at the moment. I try and pick mugs that stack well with plenty of clearance inside for a puck. That way I don't have to mess with lids. I just stack the mugs 2-3 high.
I like the glass pyrex bowls. Nice size to load in, lid keeps the scent strong, stack nicely too.
I use an Anchor Hocking covered glass sugar bowl for my refill pucks. Cheap but looks classy.
Anything and everything from wooden bowls to aluminum tubs to plastic tubs to onyx bowls.
Each soap I use has its own container. All of the containers have lids

Empty pomade tins.
Ikea sells some aluminum tins with screw-tops (and magnets on the bottom, I pop the magnets off).
Tabac and MWF stay in their original containers.
I milled a stick of Irisch Moos into one of the above tins.
Arko goes in a twist-up holder.

+1 The Pyrex 1 cup/250ml glass containers are the best ones for soaps. Great, secure lid and plenty of room to load the soap!
But I do have a separate container for each puck.
One thing I do for pucks I rarely use, is to put down a layer of plastic wrap in a bowl, then put the puck on that. I get the benefit of lathering in a bowl but after a few shaves I can pull it out, let it dry, and put it back in the box or bag that it came in.
I use the container that I got with the soap. If none, I will reuse another container. If none, I got 2 vintage WWII German army butter containers. If I don't have anything else, well, I will finish a soap!
Those IKEA sells dont have srewon-top and it's not aluminum, just for the record.
Oops... you're right.
I got a couple of boxes of those for my wife's herbs since they have the clear lids.
I got mine from WCS:

Simple plastic containers & coffee mugs.
Zip-loc bags. I do dab the puck that I just used on a towel to get it relatively dry, then put it in.
