stick containers

Post by nicodemus38 »

id like to see some photos of used up stick containers for Tabac and harris and TOBS.

The containers are supposedly the deodorant stick style from what I have seen in the past, but the replacement stick for tabac is just like the regular stick for Palmolive, arko, Wilkinson, and so forth.

The replacement soap sticks without containers are malleable and formless, so any of the refill sticks can be shoved into any suitable container, regardless of brand. This goes for pucks too, not just sticks. I know this to be true because I have done it many times with many brands of soap in addition to those you have listed. It really does not matter how hard or soft the soap is, it can be placed into virtually any container of any size.

That looks perfect for the end of an Arko tick. Now, can you tell us what shipping costs. I'll bet it is triple the $1.95 cost.

I've got quite a few empty push-up containers (Brut deodorant). If you want one or two, let me know. I'll pick up the postage.

Calculate that on their website.

Need to look at getting me a couple of these --- it'll ensure longer life out of a Palmolive Classic stick.

I keep an Erasmic stick in an old DR Harris stick container for travel, the tube is the same diameter but a bit shorter than an Erasmic stick, so I cut the Erasmic in half and use it in two lots. I'm sure you could do the same with a Palmolive stick if you have an old DR Harris one lying around?
Cheers,
Owen

True --- I have one partly filled with some MWF shavings from the end of a puck. I could easily do the same with a Palmolive stick .... thanks for the tip.

tempting to build a really nice stainless steel or silver or chrome plated twist holder.

like colgates old style, but with a harris type twist to lift system.
