Mama Bear Shave Sticks

[qhsdoitall]

Anybody clever enough to know how to make a shave stick out of a Mama Bear Soap?

[Edcculus]

I guess you could take a used QED container, push the plunge thing back to the bottom, melt the soap and pour it in.

Thought of that but I don't have a QED stick and I'm not ordering anything from QED in a long while, especially since the sticks are special order and not on the site.

you can get these and melt the soap and simply pour into the container, wait till it cools and voila!

I made a shave stick from a Mama Bear soap after seeing this thread the other night.

I just dis-assembled and cleaned an empty unscented deodorant stick container, and poured the melted soap in the container. Let it cool, and it was ready to use.

It worked great. Best shave I've had in awhile. I didn't use a brush but I missed my brush. :o

[bearbeard]

what an outstanding idea!!! I have not used a shave stick yet, but have to travel in a couple of months and this would be perfect. So to make sure...you get it wet? then rub it on your face? and then use a brush?

[xChris]

Yep...

Rub it against the grain of your beard for maximum soap depositing, then hit it with a damp brush to get the lather started up. Re-wet the brush tips slightly after the first 30 seconds to finish it up. Once you've worked it up on your face, you should have enough lather for a 3-pass shave.

[bearbeard]

thank you xchris! I can hardly wait to try it out.

how did you clean it out????

[bearbeard]

had to be magic! Or she used her tongue.:rofl (hey thats how I get my peanutbutter spoon clean.)

[Queen of Blades]

I just disassembled the container, and washed it in hot soapy water. Then scrubbed out any residual deodorant. It was an unscented deo, so there was no concern of getting rid of lingering scents.

Then I just let the container dry, re-assembled, and poured in the soap.

I would vote yes on that.

P.S. I got curious and licked my deoderant.......just might be the freshest breath I've had.....of course now I am drinking a coke to get rid of the taste.
(seriously....I did, why? Just to make JoAnna feel better!!! And by golly she better!!!!

[Mama Bear]

I am pretty sure that she will... she laughed at me for a month when I licked my alum block... right Jo? :rofl

Big Hugs! You're a good man Bob :D

Use a pair of scissors to dig out the remaining deo. Hot, hot water should dissolve the rest.

[Mama Bear]

I ordered in some samples of the stick containers (for lack of a better word) and will see what the quality is like... I will let you know as soon as I can, all this deodorant licking is starting to get to me.... :o

I think there would be a good demand for the stick format. They would be great for traveling.

Are you talking about making soap stick and selling them, or just selling the containers and letting customers make their own sticks?

[bearbeard]

FLAVORED soaps could be a good thing!!! I can't seem to get the taste of this stuff out of my dadgum mouth.

Did you learn your lesson? :rofl

[bearbeard]

For now, until I go and forget what happened the last time.

Don't worry I won't let you forget! :p

Uh-oh:eek: Now look what I have gone and done:scared003

Yeah but I can't decide between a custom title for you or just teasing you about it relentlessly......;)

Official TSD Taste Tester.... :rofl

I am thinking of just selling the empty containers as a do it yourself project... The thought of making another 100 'flavors' is making me twitch.... ;-)

[Baron]

I used my MB as a shave stick this morning... very nice. I think I prefer using it in this method... although used a deodorant container and I think the round stick would be better.

Now I just have to get the containers...

Alright, the samples passed muster... I have 100 coming in next week and will sell them for $1.35. I sure hope this price isn't too high... they are on the website on the containers page.... I didn't feel the pressure from you guys at all.........:rolleyes: :D

Hugs,
