Do you cap your soaps?

**letterk** · 06-09-2006, 02:19 PM

I've heard before that the scent may wane if you don't put the lid on your soap containers. So I've been doing so. However, I find the the soap still wet by the next time I use it. So lately I've been waiting until they're dry before capping. Any opinions on this?

I usually put mine in a ziplock bag if they don't have a top or cap.

I put the lid on after use. I've had no problems so far.

I allow mine to dry throughout the day and put the lid on in the evening.

Caps off. If they stay wet for too long they can get moldy.

That's what I've been doing as well. <patting myself on the back>

Same here.

I had no idea that a soap could get moldy. How odd. I guess I'll have to watch mine a little more closely.

The same anal retentive personality method too!

I found some Corning Mugs with thick plastic lids that are intended for soup. The lid pops on and off when needed. The mugs are prefect for soaps and I have not had any mold problems. I am finding that the scents are richer when shaving than they are when left un-capped.

I've started using old cream tubs for new soaps. They fit well, have a lid, and I feel good about recycling them.

I've been at this for over a year and have yet to empty any of my cream tubs. Maybe I have too many!

I have a few favorites that see a lot more action than others.

Randy,
This is a gentleman's board. Let's keep the language civil.

What was I thinking???

well, unlike most of you, I leave the top off of my soap for the day, and place it back on at night, when getting stuff ready for the next day's shave. I hope this helps.

Drew,

I believe that is what most of us said that we do, leave open throughout the day and cap in the evening.
