I know the subject was discussed quite a bit over time on a cheap alternative to a shave stick container.
La Toja Shaving Stick comes with a container of it's own. Useful, simple, works well. The Lea Shaving Stick is the same (has a container supplied with the stick). Other products such as Wilkinson Sword Shave Stick have a piece of plastic to hold the bottom of the stick and that's all...
Most shave sticks, like the Palmolive European version shave stick are wrapped in foil and that's it.
Some would re-use an old shave stick container or buy a new one such as the ones that West Coast Shaving sells or Mama Bear has.
You could use an empty glue container or one of those funky icicle containers. The empty deodorant tube seems to be mentioned here and there... The Pill bottle seems to be a very popular choice also... If you can get some empty containers...
Finally, some would get one of those vintage Colgate shave stick containers (also available in Williams and more) where it's usually a little metallic tube where you would store the stick between uses.
Mike (mblakele) found an interesting picture not too long ago and it got me thinking...
Are we supposed to use the cap/lid of the container (in those old vintage one) as the handle for the stick? The model in the picture seems to be a twist-up container which I don't think I ever saw on eBay...
I love the idea of putting the old piece of soap on top of the new piece so you wouldn't loose anything... I guess the purpose of this post is to regroup most of the ideas that were mentioned in the past. I would love to see more pictures of those containers (vintage/current) as they mostly get mentions...
