Drying some shaving cream in a jar

This also works with Bigelow Shave Cream; though I dried it out in a ceramic bowl, then transferred it later to a twist shave stick tube with a butter knife. Nice stiff, compacted shave stick now.
I emptied two tubes of Palmolive into an old BodyShop shaving cream tub. It was totally liquidy! Ended up leaving it out in the sun for a couple of days (daytime only) and used an old ice cream stick to keep stirring it. It's now much thicker in consistency and more manageable while not losing the characteristics of the original...and that's what I like!
I think I'm going to give this a try with my Irisch Moos cream.. I really miss the shave stick.
i smell many times before clean my mug,i have 10 diferent creams.today the most impresive was nivea-made in germany-smell orange.....great
I hate to bring up an old thread but I wanted some opinions.
i wanted to try Luc's shave stick in a small lip balm container so that I can bring that on vacation.
How many shave's do you think I can get from a lip balm size stick?

Fidjit on this board had a lip balm stick made out of MWF. It might give you an idea but when you dry some cream like this, the product will shrink as the water evaporates so filling a lip balm might be a challenge IMO.
My opinion, if you would do one would probably be a few days worth but less than a week. It depends on your technique, how much product you will use and the product itself. The best way to know if and how it works, try to make one now and see how long it will last.

If it's thicker, it will take longer to dry. I guess that if you would spread the shave cream like a pancake, it would dry really fast. It should then be easy to transfer it to a container using the cookie cutter method (http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Creating_A_Shave_Stick)

I will need to make a new one as I completely used it. The container that I used is now hosting a GZD shave stick. I will think of something. I was going to make a stick with the Proraso Soap tub as it worked well with the Barbus soap(Barbus has a similar consistency).
However, I do have Proraso on the list in the shave stick thread (see post 1). So it will be reviewed.

I would say but probably faster. I haven't done it yet...
Menthol and microwaves are a bad mix. There's a thread somewhere where a guy tried to melt Yeti Snot in a microwave and almost gassed himself when he opened the door.
