What to do with the pieces of Mitchell's?

[tinpanalley]

I've finally got down with my Mitchell's Soap to the point where it was a centimeter thick and broke into four quarters. So, now what do I do? It's impossible to hold and load because the pieces are too small. Anyone know what I'm talking about and have any ideas??
Thanks!

Mitchell's makes a great hand or bath soap, or let it soften a bit and press it into the bottom of a mug and lather it, or microplane it and press it into the bottom of a mug, or use the pieces like a shave stick, really, there's lots of options.

Just like generations of men have done - you could press the bits of leftover soap into the bottom of a mug and lather up. I do not care for MWF so I would sqeeze the bits together to make a usable piece of soap for use in the shower, and then chuck it in the bin and buy some new shave soap

I'd just put the pieces on top of another soap in another dish or container. Wet the soap first and it should all merge together with a bit of pressure applied.

Break them into even smaller pieces if possible and place in the bottom of a mug. Add a small amount of water and add other shaving soap scraps or cut off slices from Arko. Mix and then let dry. In a few days, you'll have a small puck of your very own Frankensoap.

"Arkell" or "Micho" perhaps?

I can think of better pairings...

Buy a grater at a garage or estate sale that will be just for soap. Grate the soap onto a big piece of paper. Smoosh the product of the grater into a spare Old Spice mug. Throw away piece of paper.

I will buy any Old Spice mug with no chips, cracks or crazing to the glaze for $5 or less. They multiply very fast.

GET RID OF THAT WORTHLESS CRAP RIGHT NOW!!! THROW IT OUT!!! FLUSH IT DOWN THE DRAIN THIS INSTANT!!!

If you don't, you'll end up like me.

Shouldn't be any problem using a regular grater/microplane as long as you wash it afterwards. Now, Old Spice mugs I have never seen. And I don't think I have anywhere to find one. I don't think maybe that Old Spice is as ubiquitous as where you live.

Sorry, not sure if I get what you're saying. Are you being sarcastic??

Yes, I'm joking with you. I'm hanging on to a few scraps of MWF, just as you are.

Make a Frankensoap, but not with Arko or we will take back your B&B membership card

I think it would be Arkell! or Micho!

Maybe when you mix them you get a different punctuation mark though.

I’m there, big doughnut hole, but still usable. Soon I will press the scraps into another fine Frankensoap creation that is a favourite, MWF will make it better. I will then reload the ceramic dish with the new non-tallow version of MWF and go from there. Thankfully I have another tallow puck in the wings. Actually looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. Good luck with your soap dilemma!

 

[NorthernSoul]

There's lots of good matches out there to use up MWF remnants. I made a good one with Haslinger Sensitive (another Haslinger flavor could work). Maybe mix in Speick or Palmolive, just depends on what you have, really.

 

[SalS]

Honestly is it worth thinking about?

I say dump it and buy some Jack Black.

 

[tinpanalley]

Considering that for me it probably represents several weeks of shaving, yes, it is.
Unless you'd like to send me some soaps for free?

Just put a fresh puck on top in the soap container.

Pour a little water on the bits and when softened, mash the new one down.
