Pro tip: just cover your soap bar in epoxy resin and it'll serve literally for decades.

Or use some sand paper instead and it will be yourself getting smaller and smaller.

That’s a-okay. It’s oversanding that’s the real issue.

That sub is FULL of stupid questions. Complete lie of a name.

Used to be a great sub until they relaxed the posting rules. Pretty much everything falls into one of 3 categories:

  1. Really difficult questions with incredibly complex answers

  2. Really ignorant/loaded questions like "Why doesn't [person/company/country] just [do something]"

  3. Bait.

Unironically yes. They add potassium to soap today, just enough to keep the brick form

Get a soapstone, they last forever!

[–] teft@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Take your soap out of the box. Store it in the air for 1-2 months so that it cures. Your new harder soap will last longer.

But also it depends on which brand you buy. Brands like Dove don't last as long as others because they add air/bubbles to the soap mix.

PRO TIP: Take your soap out of the box, store it in the open to dry. I will last 4x as long and work just as well.

Don't take it out of the box! Then it won't shrink.
