If you don't have the bowl that basically doubles to triples the cost of your soap, where do you store your wool fat? What I am asking is, do you have a special bowl that fits it? Rubbermaid or something like it? I want it to be airtight and be good for travel and keep MWF from drying out and cracking.
How do you store your MWF??

Being a tight git, I always buy the refills and I use little round plastic Tupperware type dishes with lids from the local supermarket, 5 for £1! Some fit straight in, others need a bit of trimming or milling. Work just fine and they stack well in the cupboard!

I got a set of small pyrex dishes. (I think it was 4 for $8.) The glass would probably be a bit bulky and heavy for travel, but it works fine for home.
It will fit in the 1 cup anchor hocking/pyrex lidded bowls. You will need to apply some pressure to get the soap seated into the bowl, but it will fit.
Get the bowl in this thread ... http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62631&highlight=anchor
... see it in action with a puck of Tabac (same size & shape)

I store my MWF in a small, round ZipLoc storage container.

I second the ramekin suggestion. I got 10 for a buck a piece at Pier 1. Now I'm slowly populating them with various soaps. 
I sprang for one of Colleen's wooden tubs at TGQ...about 7 bucks if memory serves...
Purchased soap and wooden bowl on Ebay. Only cost about 19.00 CAN. That was including shipping from England.
I keep it in an Old Spice mug.
i have it in the mwf dish, so at a glance i can tell it from my talbc and williams.
Get the ceramic dish. It's beautiful and you can hand it down to the next generation along with your favorite razor and brush... 
On a purple velvet cushion under a glass crystal cover on a Corinthian marble pedestal...seriously, I have my Kent brand in a wooden bowl and my MWF brand in a ceramic bowl. Yes, I have both, and no, I don't know why.
with a lid that I got at the Daiso (the two dollar store)
I store mine in something like Doc4 has, a glass bowl that I got from the kitchen. It's about 3/4 of an inch wider than the puck. It has a snap on plastic lid (used to be used for leftovers). It works fine.
John of West Coast Shaving told me that he has ordered some aluminum containers with screw-on lids, like Provence de Pre comes in. I think they'd fit an MWF puck.

Glass is great and all, but if you're looking for a container that has a lid and travels well, check out Mama Bear's travel container. It'll be a black lid, not a white one as pictured. MWF fits it perfectly. I mean, like it was made for that container, and it's plastic so it'll travel safely. I bought 8 of these, and all my soaps are stored in them now.

Ah the Daiso! Now there's something I REALLY miss about Vancouver... along with the damn fine sushi! Ottawa sushi is either really expensive or really crappy... and usually both.
