Just out of curiosity, what are the approximate dimensions of your shave stick? I’m probably going to make some 2” rounds just because there are standard pipes available in that size. But a stick sounds interesting

I generally use a repurposed deodorant stick as well as a glue stick container. Don't make them in those dimensions, go for the Tabac stick format. (please please please)
Chris, I have a few of these which are perfect for an Arko stick.
Twist Up Shaving Soap Stick Container, 2oz Empty
These 2oz containers resemble giant lip balm tubes are commonly used for deodorant. That said, their diameter is PERFECT for an Arko Shaving stick! Just put a small hole through the center of your arko stick with a chopstick or metal skewer, and slip it right in! You can also melt down glycerine...

I'd be down with that format, especially if the center hole came pre-formed!Chris, I have a few of these which are perfect for an Arko stick.

TSA has volume constraints on non-liquids? 
A chopstick makes a perfect hole without much effort.

That’s a cool tip.
In my dopp kit I actually use a large glue stick container. It holds like an oz. Which is enough for several trips.

So what do you normally have in that stick?
Arko.
it depends... if its mushy at all like some softer soaps they can be picky.. some have had to throw away soapy that TSA said were "mushy" they said it could be a danger. TBH it is more up to the individual TSA agent you are dealing with i just think its better to be safe than sorry...Personally im not as familiar with "Public" air transportation I either flew in military transportation when i was still in the service or I fly private(my family has had pilots licenses and planes my whole life )..... i havent flown on a public transportation plane in years and years...TSA has volume constraints on non-liquids?

I used my Money version of this today. That's the Plain Jane one. Lathered great and shaved even better. Smooth as "buttah". I used a "ball end" Tech razor and an obscure made in Brasil Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade (2nd usage) for the shave. It's a better soap than store bought Williams easily and I actually like Williams.
What I like about CBL is that the co. seems to approach this from an objective scientific manner and not get swept up in the Nancy Boy PSF mania that is currently all the rage. It's the actual shave that matters.
