Welcome!

Most artisan soap comes in plastic tubs - though some sell refills (Stirling being among them), which you can store however you like.

I would recommend getting a few samples from Stirling (which are 1 ounce sized): they are good value, and you can test a bit what kind of scent you like. You can also look a bit around here what soaps people are using. I would just recommend avoiding Ariana & Evans, whose soaps have a tendency to provoke fragrance burns.

For beyond basics, I don't know โ€“ maybe try witch hazel as an after shave?
