I like Ivory Bar Soap. Just getting a sharp point is the only complaint. I have found to get the pieces that are almost ready to not be useable and use a knife to get the point so it is useable is about all I have come up with. It washes right out.
I also like the pencil markers that Wal-Mart has also. I do share the concern of if there will be a problem in years to com.
Pounce is an old product, but I guess it is very good.
