Leftover MWF
I've nearly finished a puck of MWF and I have a bunch of bits leftover - they've cracked but still lather - can they be amalgamated again - I've half tried and they really don't want to stick together - suggestions?

My MWF is in a tight container and getting near the bottom. I started getting residual soap around the edge my brush didn't pick up @ halfway down. I simply scraped the bits loose to rest on top and continued as usual. Eventually it lathered away. Chips, cracked pucks or a new puck- it still lathers regardless.

You can also take a piece of plastic wrap, place it on the wet bits and press down with a lid or your fingers and get a thin piece to press out.notthesharpest wrote:You might get them good & wet and then rub them together for a minute, or if they're small enough pieces the same trick might be used to stick them to the top of a new puck.
I haven't actually tried that with MWF, just a suggestion based on other soap.
This works well with many soaps I have hand milled,

MWF pieces. What to do?
I know MWF is one the the best performing tallow soaps. If you have not tried Williams shaving soap, perhaps now is the time to try it. Put the Williams into a nice mug and take the MWF pieces and work it into the edges of the Williams puck. You now have a nice super cream when you lather up. I did that with some dried out Cella and it works great.

Re: MWF pieces. What to do?
This is what I have done with "remnants" (including ends of shave sticks) for years: I pack them around a William's puck. I call it my William's potpourri in the SOTD posts.dcrosso wrote:I know MWF is one the the best performing tallow soaps.
