    Default Remove smashed Arko stick

    Guys, I have my MWF puck in one of those Ikea SS bowls with the clear lid. The problem is that it isn't quite deep enough for the soap to get a good soak. It has to be just right or the top sticks out of the water.

    Since nobody apparently wants to give up their ceramic MWF dish , my next best option is to move the puck to my Grandpa's Old Spice mug. The problem is that I smashed my Arko stick into it last week and it doesn't look like it'll be easy to remove. Has anybody had any success with this or does anybody have any suggestions?

    If you want to dig your Arko stick out of the mug, just go at it with a butter knife- it will come out very easily. In the end it is only soft soap.

    Okay, the butterknife worked. I had to cut it up into wedges to unstick it from the bottom, but it mashed back together okay. Problem #2 was that the MWF was a little waterlogged on one side and didn't fit into the OS mug. I set it out to dry, so maybe by tomorrow it'll be dried up enough for it to shrink back to normal size. I guess that's why the mugs and bowls all have ridges to keep the soap out of the puddle on the bottom.

    You can leave it be for a few days, it'll dry and crack like the desert floor then should slip right in. If not get a grater and have at it.

    I like soft soaps, but I LOVE hard soaps. Won't it ruin the triple-milled-ness of the soap if I cut it up and make it not last as long or something?

    Forgot to add that when it drys and cracks it shrinks somewhat.

    Arko: OS Mug -> Dollar Tree Bowl
    Nomad: Dollar Tree Bowl -> Ikea Bowl
    MWF: Ikea Bowl -> OS Mug

    I think you're taking this soap rotation thing a little too seriously.
