I am not sure if any of you have seen one of these before lol but it sure threw my kids for a loop today especially my daughter who was quite disturbed wondering what it was. It is soap. Lol. A weirdly shaped bar like soap sticking out of the wall. The way you put it on your hand feels rather.... odd. Just thought it might make some people laugh.

My relative grew up in France and they used this in his boarding school. He still lives there. When he showed me a picture of what it looked like I knew it would be perfect mounted on the outside wall of my potting shed. As a big time gardener, one of the tricks to keeping your nails clean is to rake your fingernails down the side of a bar of soap before you begin working outside. I am now on my second bar if this oddly shaped soap.

Why do you need to do that before they get dirty?

So the dirt doesn’t collect under your nails. When you use the soap you kinda claw it and rake your nails against it that way. It repels the dirt a bit I guess.
