Thanks fellas. I just grabbed the bar, warmed it ever so slightly with a couple 10 second bursts in the MW and then formed it into my "Ship Grand Turk" OS mug. Mike's soap bars are generous and it filled the mug almost 3/4 of the way. The Mike's BR soap will sail tomorrow!
Mike's hand made soaps from Brooklyn.

Very easy to mold the bars into containers.
Looking at those tins I'm sure the cover of a big mason jar would work also.
I have some tins and one bar. I like the bar but the only thing is telling which is which if you have multiple bars. Love all his soaps! Getting the coconut bar next!
Excellent point! Plus, the tins are reusable.

There you go!
Mine is in a French soup bowl with a lid that measures approximately 6" across and 3" in depth. Perfect.
My first run with Mike's today. I went with the bar molded into a mug. The soap has met and exceed expectations. Great lather, heavenly bay rum scent. I was thinking about the "ID" issue with his soaps. I had a sample someone sent me once and I had to do the sniff test to remember what it was. I think for future orders I will order tins. Now, I wish Mike would develop a "spice" type soap!
Danricgro, that sounds like a great idea. Can you furnish a link to the specific tins you are talking about (or just tell me which ones to look for)? Thanks!
I mashed a bar into a large Old Spice mug. The soap is very soft. No grating needed.
I did the same yesterday. I didn't even have to trim the corners, just pushed and formed it into the mug.
I don't even know why this thread is still going after this suggestion!! Perfect. Actually after reading this my first thought was "Duh!"
Good one. Simple.
I actually put the bars into a tupperware bowl. Very flexible and easy to shape.
+1. That's how the bar is meant to be used. Keep it simple.

Well, judging from this picture taken from his website, I would assume that it's how he intended for it to be used.
Let me add to the chorus of praise for Mike's Hungarian Lavender.
I had my first shave with it yesterday. The lavender scent is fresh and clear, with no hint of anything medicinal or artificial. The top notes are counterbalanced by an earthiness that adds complexity and interest. The intensity of the scent is just right: not too strong, not too faint. And, of course, it makes the cushion-y, protective lather that is the hallmark of Mike's Natural Soaps.
I like HL even better than Barber Shop, which is saying a lot. I also can't wait to try the free sample of Peppermint & Rosemary that Mike kindly included with my order.

I meant to order the Lime but hit a snag somehow and ended up with Barbershop. I must have hit the wrong order/add to cart button of something. At first I didn't care for it. It didn't smell bad but it wasn't anything I looked forward to smelling either. After a few weeks of using the Barbershop I now love it and want to order it again!
It is a great scent.
