Where on Earth did you acquire such a ginormous bar of soap in the first place? Did someone really think this was practical?
We had to do that for art class when I was little. I don't remember what I wanted to carve, but I know it never looked anything like it. :uhh:Evo said:
That's what I thought this thread was about. Ivory soap was great for carving.Evo said:
Guess that wasn't an air-blown soap (like Ivory). With one of those, all you'd have after 40 seconds in the microwave is an ovenfull of foam.larkspur said:

To safely cut a large bar of soap in half, you will need a sharp knife and a cutting board. Place the cutting board on a flat, stable surface and hold the soap firmly with one hand. Use the knife to gently saw through the soap, applying even pressure. Make sure to keep your fingers away from the blade to avoid injury.
The best type of knife to use for cutting soap is a sharp, non-serrated knife. A chef's knife or a utility knife would work well for this task. Avoid using a serrated knife as it may cause the soap to crumble or break unevenly.
Yes, you can use a soap cutter or wire cutter to cut a large bar of soap. These tools are specifically designed for cutting soap and may provide a more precise and even cut. However, make sure to use caution and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe use.
To prevent the soap from crumbling when cutting it, make sure to use a sharp knife and apply even pressure while cutting. You can also try freezing the soap for a few hours before cutting it, as this can make it easier to cut without crumbling.
Yes, there are a few techniques that can help you cut a large bar of soap in half more easily. One technique is to score the soap first by lightly running the knife along the desired cutting line. This will create a groove for the knife to follow and can help prevent the soap from crumbling. Another technique is to use a sawing motion with the knife instead of applying too much pressure at once.
