Well I have a can from those deep fried onions that I saved. I was thinking of sinking the loofa into it lengthwise and then pouring the soap into that container. The only problem is the loofa I managed to find is kind of narrow and slender and the can is more round.
I have a very sharp knife I was hoping would slice through the loofa, but that would be my concern, that the amount of force to slice the loofa would chip or ruin the soap slices or that sliced lengthwise a loofa might not be comfy against the skin.
The scrubbies I bought are those inexpensive plastic things. I was thinking of putting them into a little box mold I made from a recycled candy box, I think two will fit into there and I can just slice it in half.
I was going to use my "standard" recipe I've been using which is a simple crisco recipe because I've managed to make a couple of batches and it is coming out well.
I love the poppy seed and orange peel ideas. The orange peel especially appeals because it seems like it would leave a bright orangey scent. Do you zest the oranges like you would for cooking?
I think I'll try the coffee grinder on the oatmeal next time for my hubby. He liked my other oatmeal soap but when you get down to the end of the bar, the whole oatmeal is pretty much all that is left and it makes a messy lump.
