Shaving soaps - Do any others fit Floris bowls?

[Jeremy67]

The D.R. Harris ones on Connaught shaving look like they might but does anyone know a brand or two that definitely do.

What's the diameter?

[Jeremy67]

Internal diameter is 84mm, external height is 35mm so I guess internal height 30-32mm.

It has been suggested that L'occitane cade soap refills fit, can anyone confirm this please.

Thanks

Just checked the diameter of my Loccitane soap dish which is 90mm (It's like a pewter metal). I use Arran Lochranza shaving soap..patchouli & anise (excellent quality) and the refills fit it perfectly.

There are two types of shaving soaps, lanolin based and the normal stuff.

If the soap is too big for the container, you simply chop the soap into little cubes and then pour it into the container and melt it.

If the soap is lanolin based, heat it up by placing the soap dish into boiling water or better still, a steamer.

If the soap is bog standard, you can do it in the micro wave.

I have been using Mitchells Woolfat Soap for years and I have an oversize bowl. I therefore steam it to let it go runny and then solidify for a perfect fit.

Just to close this off I can confirm that the Truefitt & Hill refills fit the Floris bowl and are a bit more reasonably priced than the Floris ones. It's a good soap too.
