Now, I am posting another milled soap method.
Tools:
#1 A crank type Julienne machine (3$ at a garage sale or a kitchen grater.

#2 Twist-up Shaving Stick Containers, 2 oz ( Google it!)
#3 Some semi soft soap ends...Cella this time
#4 A pen or dowel to press the shredded soap in to the push up container.
Just put the soap into the Julienne machine / against the Grater..Lady friend can help?... The lever handle pushes it against the shredding wheel. The crank above turns the grater disk to make the shreds This style sits over a plate which I moved for the photo. The box grater will sit over a plate also.
Pack the shredded soap into the push up container with a pen end or a dowel or the end of a chopstick. If the soap is very hard spritz the shredded soap with water lightly from a spray bottle and let it set over night before packing it.

Half hour near the sink including a scrubbing of the machine / grater and hands.
Have fun.
Thought: Mix some older soaps to make a new one of a combination of scents??
Have fun and...
