How to Care for your Beautiful Handmade Soap

So you've bought our soap.

Now, how do you get more bang for your buck?

It's simple, really.

Rule #1: A dry soap is a happy soap.

Keeping a soap bar as dry as possible in between baths or showers is a very good thing. It makes the soap last longer, and prevents it from turning into a pile of fragrant but slimy mush. Invest in a good soap dish that drains well, and you'll reap the benefits.

Rule #2: You can cut your soap.

Cutting small portions of your soap to use at a time allows you to keep the remainder of your soap dry, and lets it cure to a harder bar so it can last even longer! Use a good soap cutter (we'll have one up for offer soon enough), or a sharp kitchen knife.

A handy travel tip: You can cut your soaps into small chunks, or shave them into soap slivers for a single use in the bathroom. That way you won't have to give up your beloved soap, you don't have to pack up a mushy bar, or wait for it to dry! Even better, you can take your soap on airplanes.

Enjoy!
