Do you mean to tell me that there are people that actually use the soap until it's gone?  

That could happen to me if I didn't buy any more soap for the next twenty years. Tongue

The famed WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE here supposedly was kept in a nonsensical state of construction to placate the spirits of those killed by that line of firearms. Nobody bothers to read the interviews of her neighbors. The lady was an uncommon one percenter with a one hundred percent Christian ethic. Construction began just as the country was hit by a economic depression precursor to The Great Depression. My grandfather said it wasn't all that great and had me read the Grapes of Wrath at 10. She KEPT MEN WORKING not wishing to humiliate them with handouts. They would show up and she would randomly have them build a stair case or additional room with no preconceived plan.
You are a modern Winchester. When you buy ANOTHER SOAP you are keeping people fed.
Take a bow from the forum.

Chris, kindly stop derailing the thread.  A light joke now and then is fine, and appreciated, but trying to let us know just how erudite you are in almost every post you make is doing little, if anything, to help our members and at this point has just become obnoxious.

Use for samples and use for my own soaps.

I will post at or below the level of others and apologise. Maimonides was wrong.

I just happened to empty a couple plastic, yes PLASTIC soap tubs recently. I plan to use them for other soaps. I have La Toja and Tabac shaving sticks that I'm going to grate into them. The only other thing I would probably use them for would be leftover screws, nuts and bolts and the like in the garage.

I just put the tubs in the recycling bin. They then go on to have a second life.

It involved a refabricated bow with a large intake mimicking baleen whales and large filter feeding sharks. The ship would cruise slowly through large debri fields recovering the plastic and letting the water flow passively out the stern, much like the propulsion system in RED OKTOBER which itself was based on an ingenious two man sub built by Italian Regia Navia POWs guests of HM forces WW2.
Hey, there's an idea... Clean out the tub, put a message inside, screw the top back on, and chuck it into the ocean. Include your address and pif some wetshaving gear to whoever writes back. That would be a great way to spread the word about traditional wetshaving.

I've not heard this term applied to soap before but I'm going to venture a guess that it might be a tub of soap containing 2 or more different soaps pressed into the tub beside one another.  Like a pizza with one half with one topping and the other with a different one.  Most of these soaps are quite malleable so I could imagine taking some Mike's Natural lime and pressing it into half a tub and filling the other half with his bay rum for a bay rum and lime or some other crazy concoction.  The permutations are limitless although at some point I would think you'd get some muddled nondescript smelling melange.

You would - OK- I would, as a non drinking diabetic, also get some fearful, tearful weepers.
