For awhile now I have been thinking about making a small shave stick from a chap stick tube. Last night I dug out a cake of VDH and went to work. I melted it in the microwave using 10 second burst. I used a towel in a bowl to hold the tube in place. Then I poured the melted VDH in with a spoon. After it set up for awhile I put it to the test. It worked good. No issues at all. I am going to be using it some to see how many shaves it gets. Just from the first use it looks like it will be several. Here is a video of the first use. shave stick video

I think you have to grate the Williams. Not sure you can melt a tallow soap. Should be fun any way it goes. I already have a VDH glycerin twist up shave stick in a round deodorant tube. Works great!!!

Second shave with the stick. Going strong. It is easy to use too.
