Beware where you dry your shaving soap!

[ligonnema]

I have been using Signature soaps for a while now and took advice to let them dry out after use, makes sense to stop them going rancid etc.

I've been placing them on my windowsill to get some air on them and it works great. I always wondered if the birds would be interested in them, as my dog certainly would like a taste.

Anyway, I did the normal thing today, left it by my window and went for a walk. I came home to find this:



Clearly a bird took this as an offer and got a good beakful of the stuff! I then saw on my window frame soap smeared all over the place as it clearly regretted its decision and tried to clean the stuff off!

I wonder if it got a good lather around it's beak?

Great marketing for the brand? 'Its good enough to eat!' lol.

I. Do this too, on a sunny window sill and it takes very good care of this soap which I like a lot. Leave my large badger brush beside the tin and it dries the brush a treat, leaving it like new.

That's the mark of the beast!

Didn't occur to me to do it with the brush too.

I'd be pissed if a bird took a chunk out of that though!

That’s funny! I personally wouldn’t leave it if direct sunlight though, especially in the heatwaves we’re having in UK. I just pat it dry and put lid on and never had any issues.

Before I add Potassium and sodium hydroxide, I can eat all the ingredients - all natural stuff.

I agree. Signature Soaps Eboracum is delicious when it's spread thinly on hot buttered toast.

Same thing with Vegemite when spread thinly onto hot buttered toast, otherwise, too much, you’ll have a very salty tongue.

No soap for me, not to eat anyway.
