Arrived today thanks! Unfortunately have tiger balm on my bruised ribs (injured in an unfortunate 'being an idiot' accident), so can't smell them, will use ASAP and feed back on them - the wee tartlet cases are a good idea though.
Think I might go for one of the old fashioned shaving scuttles - that shape will fit the top perfectly.

Aye, the soap sits on top, hot water in the bottom, steam heats soap through holes in the top (which also alows soap to drain), brush in through spout to get it wet with hot water, then pick up soap from top & face lather. Comes from days when no hot water in bathroom so you'd fill from kettle and take through. With our crappy boiler (55 degrees top water temp) - I'll be doing that anyway.
My dad used to have one of those with a picture on! It was either a horse and carriage or a canon with men at arms, can't remember which! Either way is totally forgotten about it till you posted that!
The smell of sandal wood shaving soap makes me think of the old man every time! (He's not dead btw, just doesn't live local! Lol)

Sorry to derail the thread but are soaps much better than using creams?
I've been using Taylor's Jermyn Street with a double edge since I started shaving and just stuck with it.

As wattsy says, creams can be easier to lather particularly where you have hard water, however I have very hard water and don't have a problem in practice lathering up with various soap sticks, and they seem to go much further than tubs or tubes of cream which don't last nearly as long.
