<VV> SOAP - No Corvair

[FrankCB at aol.com]

James,
     What I use is a small plastic container with a  pump nozzle on it that 
I got years ago from Kmart.  It's labeled "Soap  Saver" and contains some 
small glass or plastic pellets that serve to  reduce small pieces of bar soap 
to a "mush" of liquid soap when water is  added and the container is 
frequently shaken.  I keep it on my  bathroom sink and use it for hand cleaning.  
When bars of soap get too  small to easily handle in the shower or bath, 
then get chipped up  to small pieces and added to the Soap Saver.  Naturally, 
the  smaller the pieces the quicker they convert to "mush", but even larger 
pieces  will work, but it take time so be patient.
    Having grown up in the depression of the  1930s it pains me to throw 
away ANYTHING if I think I can eventually find a  use for it.

Some  time ago, back when the snow was falling, someone on VV made a 
comment about  turning all the little hotel bars of soap we take home with us into 
big bars  of soap.  

I'm curious, being a conservative kind of guy who hates  throwing out 
anything which might be useful at a future date .  Some less  kind folks call it 
packrattng.  I'm also old enough to remember my  paternal grandmother making 
soap on her stove.  But I pretty sure I don't  want to recreate that 
process!  

So if one or more of you know how  to do this small soap pieces to big soap 
bars, please contact me off-line at  ricebugg at comcast.net

Historically Yours,
James
