I have bought three of these ,and very good looking containers..I have a label maker and under the lid i mark the name of the soap (eg. MWF, VDM, Omega). If milled soap grate into bowl, if hard made glycerin soaps melt into bowl. Everything looks neat, exclusive and vey easy to re-use. I will be buying again as I up my shaving soap stock.I am very pleased with these and there perfect..I hope this helps if you are reading this.
