Which should I choose between Type A and Type B for the ceramic top of the Hinoki Soap Tray?
This question is to determine whether the solid-bottom type or the type with drainage holes is more suitable, depending on where the soap tray will be placed and how it will be maintained.
Type A has a closed bottom so soap water does not flow downward, while Type B has drainage holes so water can drain out.
Azmaya's soap tray is a set product used by placing a ceramic tray on top of a Hinoki base[1]. The ceramic tops to choose from for this product are divided into two types depending on how they handle water. Type A has a closed structure where soap water does not flow underneath, and Type B has a structure with drainage holes for water to drain out[2].
Because the structures of the tops are different, you can decide based on the environment of the location where it will be placed. Type A, which has a closed bottom, collects soap lather and moisture inside the tray, making it suitable for dry areas such as washbasin countertops or shelves where water running off would be inconvenient. Conversely, Type B, which has drainage holes, allows water to naturally drain downward to reduce the softening of the soap surface, making it good to use in places where water dripping does not matter, such as inside a sink basin or near a drain.
hmmm, the choice depends on whether you prefer to empty the water frequently to keep the surrounding area neat, or prioritize drying the soap first.

We have not yet confirmed the detailed weight difference of the ceramic trays between the two types or the diameter of the drainage holes.
