I like a soap that doesn't look like it's been belched into its tub. There's something about the smooth surface of my favorite soaps (Saponificio Varesino, Meißner Tremonia, Czech & Speake) that I find very attractive. I wish more soap cookers would take a moment to consider what the user sees when he first opens the jar. A good looking label is nice, but a well wrought puck is a joy.

Meißner Tremonia offer their hard soaps in these marvelous glass jars. They're big and heavy and deep purple, and they could hold almost twice the soap that comes in them. In other words, the puck itself is only about half the height of the jar. To give it a boost and make loading with your brush easier, Meißner Tremonia put a ring of neoprene rubber under the soap. It sits on this rubbery throne and looks pretty, never even touching the edges of the jar, and everything works nice except this: if you rinse your soaps after each use the water tends to puddle under the puck. Even leaving the lid off for a day doesn't dry things out. The soap sort of sits and stews in its own juices for weeks. So I'm chucking the ring from all my Meißner Tremonia soaps and mashing the soap right to the edges of the jar. That's not as flash as the original 'soap on a pedestal' presentation, but it keeps the puck from becoming a soggy bog.
