How does everyone dry their soap afterwards? Leave it in the tin?

I follow the SV instructions to cover with water and then load from there, but I always end up taking the puck out and rinsing the container clean then letting the puck dry before putting it back. Call me lazy but it’s a bit of a hassle to do every time and sometimes the puck just doesn’t want to come out when the water and lather is in there.

I tend to just put the top back on and put in cabinet
sometimes I leave it out though but I use a wrung out brush so not much water in when getting the lather
also I live in AZ so ultra low humidity already but when I get a new puck it feels the same as my well used ones (as in no softer no harder)

nothing for me is better than SV

BADGERary 2025!!! Only Badger Brushes for all of January!!!
SV Saturday


Hello friends

Cloudy Saturday. Inspired by BADGERary 2025, I chose a brush that I rarely use, but whenever I use it I come to the conclusion that I should use more, Yaqi Moka Express (Two Band Badger/26mm). It was 20 dollars very well spent. SV Morado is increasingly climbing my shelf and with Floïd The Genuine it makes a divine combination. For my 24-hour beard, I chose Greencult 2.0 II with a brand new Brazilian Wilkinson Sword.

With us, Nancy Wilson and the George Shearing Quintet.

I leave it on the vanity, open to dry just a bit. Whatever soap residue is left is used for the next shave. I find that SV is like MdC… it gets very thirsty.

Nice choice of music. I had a great uncle that was a producer for Discovery Records, which was a label for George.

365 shaves in 2025
SV Saturday

Razor: Muhle R89
Blade: Silver Star (4)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: SV Desert Vetiver
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Creme
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water

Tonight for the first SV Saturday of the year it was the turn of Desert Vetiver and in a departure from my usual M.O. I decided to go with the R89 for comfort rather than efficiency. I enjoyed using it the other day and tonight it was like I'd barely shaved, except for the fact that I had a near BBS to show for it.
I forgot to mention last night that I had a haircut on Friday after 13 months without one. Now my hair stays out of the way when I'm shaving which is a relief.

SV Saturday 4th January

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, KCG #9
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I used Opuntia for SV Saturday. Back to my favourite Game Changer, for an easy near-BBS. My festive choice of blade is still holding up.

As for drying the soap, I don't concern myself with it, but do I keep my shaving stuff in the warm, dry living-room.

I let my SV soaps expand, hydrate, and soon weld themselves to the sides of their aluminium containers, I think they are intended to do that.

Thank you very much, my dear friend. I'm glad you like it. We have a common taste and you have a beautiful story!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

The Chubby 2 Super takes SV to another level. It does a great job producing tons of well hydrated lather.
