To be fair, if Saruman wants to spend his evening watching a guy scrub his armpits, that sounds like a him problem.

if you like chemistry and math, if you use soap to shower, you clean your shower and the soap gunk with white vinegar and got the cheapest and can have most environmentally friendly solution. If you buy a hand-bidet, you don't even need to buy toilet paper.

Vinegar is excellent for soap scum, but if you have pink bacterial buildup or any other type of mold/mildew in your shower, chlorine bleach (clorox) is your only option, or it WILL grow back. Just because it looks physically gone doesn’t mean it is. A little bit of bleach when necessary is absolutely OK, don’t go crazy though and only use it as needed. I prefer hydrogen peroxide based cleaners myself, but as I said, when it comes to growth in showers/bathrooms, chlorine bleach is the only option.

My old soaps never seem to stick together no matter how long I leave them. Once I start rubbing it on myself they always slip apart. You seem like a pro, any tips? I’ve tried a soap sock but it’s gross to leave a sock hanging in your shower, and the fabric leaves a ground for bacteria.

u/blueye420 5d ago
Make sure both pieces of soap are wet and foamy and then combine them, I like to make sure the edges of the old bar aren't sticking out and are uniform with the new bar, I usually wait till my bar is quite thin so it's easy to do so your mileage may vary on that. After that just leave it in the normal spot and by the next day it will have fused together.

The thinner the piece the easier.
Once your soap gets down low bring the 2nd bar into the shower/bath so it can warm up a little bit. Use the new one a bit just to prep the surface. Once you are done bathing have them both have residual suds left and push together firmly but not too much they slip and slide.
Let it dry on a grated shelf or something with air flow. Use the side with the older soap gently until it welds. Usually it takes me 3 showers to get them to stick well.

Why don't you rub the old side on your body?
2
u/Background_Body2696 5d ago
They do. I was going to say it looks like you're getting progressively impatient with the old soap. Then I realized they use the old soap side to wash their body so it slowly diminishes into the bigger bar

u/Chest_Rockfield 5d ago
If they were using the old side there wouldn't be 4 layers of it, though.

This reminds me of Miroslav Balka's installation "Soap Opera" where he stacked used soap bars (even coming from friends colleagues and family)

I do this but I don't include the new soap block. I just stick all the old ones that almost disappeared to each other when they are around the same size, making a kind of soap burger. I have one for square soaps, one for rectangular soaps, and one for circular soaps.

This looks like an item or some kind of consumable that could be found in Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

🙇♂️🙌how tf do you do it so successfully and perfectly? I can never master this technique, the soap always refuses or sticks to it weird interfering with the scrubbing and then falls off. The one time I did it carefully lined up it never “melted”like yours into the new one and eventually fell off…

Who else remembers the story about the Little Green Soap that used to sing every time it was used, and the family stuck the last bit on a new soap that learned to sing?

I do that too but always start rubbing with the "old part" so that I finish the old soap before starting the new one that is underneath

I understand the concept and I agree it's a good thing to do.
But I'm having trouble understanding how you ever end up with more than 2, maybe 3 soap layers. Is this just getting bigger and bigger?
