Teach Soap

OK, I bouight this really nicely made wooden soap cutter from online. I know I am doing something wrong. Only the first bar comes out in the 1 inch size, and the other bars come out 1 in on top, and larger (approx 1 1/4") on the bottom. Because of this, I don't get all the bars I should out of my loaf mold. Is there a better way? A better cutter? (economical of course.. please). I also realize that I need something to "hold" the loaf up against the stop or it does slide back a bit. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need a cutter that's snug for the type of soap that you're cutting. Can you hold your soap tightly with your hand, so it doesn't slide? Or use a piece of wood to make the soap snug inside the cutter?

Here's another thought. You know those rubber liners that people use in the bottom of their sink when you wash dishes by hand? They are textured. If you put them on a kitchen counter they don't slide off. That might help you keep the cutter on the counter without the cutter sliding all over the place.

That's so disappointing; I'm so sorry. I have to say I'm slowly falling out of love with mine - it's fine for the first few slices, but then it's obvious that the loaf's skew-whiff, so it must be cutting slices on a very tiny slant which isn't noticeable on individual slices but obvious on the remaining stuff. I'm sure that Chinese supermarkets used to sell thin, wide and deep blades, but can I find one when I want one? By the way, I've noticed that SLS-free soap is much, much harder to cut than the stuff with SLS in it - ??? So frustrating; this isn't rocket science, is it?!!
(ps: hello, debb ... you posted at the same time as I did, so there must be loads of us out there wailing and gnashing our teeth. I so agree with you; there has to be an easier way!!)
