I have been very successful with unscented Dove soap. I use the bar until it's flat and has thin edges. Let it dry very well and store in a covered jar. I have a problem using thin pieces of soap in the bath because of arthritis in the fingers. Learned years ago to stick the new wet bar to the old wet bar and l let it dry very well. Usually it sticks the first time. Then I can continue to use the "double bar" until the old bar in time is used up. But I do keep slivers for marking. [Not sure what the soap will do to my sewing machine.]
