I had a spare wooden soap bowl so I decided to fill it with a cheap shave soap.
Four bucks (AUD) for two sticks is pretty good value, so really, I had nothing to lose.
I decided to grate it which was no problem, even with arthritic fingers.

After this I compressed it into the bowl and poured a bit of boiling water in and compressed it some more.

I then left it in the sunshine for 30 minutes to harden it up and left it overnight.
There was no loss of scent as far as I can tell.
I've just shaved with this and really, it wasn't bad at all.

This soap is going to last a long time, I only just managed to get it all in.
Can you guys recommend any other similarly priced sticks I could try this technique with ?
