1. It moves to the soap dish on the counter to live out its remaining days as hand soap.

2. I wonder how many of us still use bar soap?
There isn't much in the stores any more. I get mine from Crabtree and Evelyn because of the selection.

3. I still like it in the shower.
It seems to lather better than liquids and last longer there.

8. I love the smell of that soap.
I buy it for my husband but I can't use it. It dries out my skin too much.

22. I once got a sample of Irish Spring in the mail.
I got up in the middle of the night and threw it out in the parking lot because the strong smell kept me awake.

18. I incorporate it into the next bar
including "drippings" that accumulate in the dish. However, the bar soap is for my hair





The liquid soap, Dr. Bronner's,





if for my body :D

19. Incorporation. I even make sure the "COAST" is facing the same way as on the new bar.
Talk about anal retentive... :eyes:

20. I've often wondered
if those bars that are molded with a concave side to them are specifically for the placement of the previous bar's sliver.

21. I save the slivers in a sandwich baggie.
When enough have accumulated I do my recycling project, making a new bar from the different colored pieces.

24. Frankensoap.
That's what my parents used to do. I never had the patience to follow up. I generally use my sliver until it just disintegrates.
