It’s supposedly the same soap through and through, all the way to the core of the bar, right? Why does it react so differently to water and being rubbed on skin when it is reduced to a sliver?
In: 718
My ‘theory’ is that the components of the soap bar that actually make the lather are leached easier than other components that make up the filler and or colour of the soap.
So by using it regularly, you extract more and more of the good stuff, while leaving behind all the parts that don’t like dissolving.
This can result in the remaining soap being less effective at producing lather, as key lathering components such as surfactants are depleted over time.
