Soap samples come in all varieties and sizes. Some soap samples are thin slices of a hard soap. Some are put in wide jar. And then there are the samples like this.
This sample measures about 1" across. It is a medium density soap. However, I have similar samples that are hard and some are soft soaps. The soft soaps I use a wet finger across the soap and apply it to my face and neck. The hard soaps I pry out and use it as a shave stick. The medium density soaps such as this one pose a problem. When I try to pry it out it crumbles. There is not much soap to use in a bowl. In the past, I have crumbled them up and mix them with odd and ends soaps to make a Frankensoap. However, I have a number of these samples and would like to try them on their own.
So the question is fellow B&Bers: how do you use soap samples, particularly the ones that are not soft or hard but are as I call them medium density soaps?
