Review (5/5): Perfect for a stick of shave soap!
I used these for a stick of the extremely inexpensive ARKO shaving soap, and it worked so well that I’ve been using it much more than the rest of my soaps.
To see if it would hold up, I didn’t even try to unwrap it, I just jammed the stick of ARKO on to the center spike in the container. It worked just fine, but I imagine constantly doing that would diminish the life of the container.
I jammed a second one into a different container after removing just the paper from the bottom of the stick and it worked a treat, sliding on very easily.
I have had these sticks of ARKO for years and rarely used stick soap before as it was a bit difficult to hang on to the stick while rubbing it on my wet face, the sticks were just too slick to easily hold on to, even when wrapped in paper. It was easier wetting my brush, rubbing it on the soap (difficult when it’s just a stick) and lathering away, but this has REALLY made sticks easier to use.
I also grated one of my other puck soaps up and pressed it in to one of these containers. It worked well and I intend to use it for traveling. These little tubes are absolutely spectacular for stick shaving soaps and I absolutely recommend them.
