How to Cut Tokyo Love Soap Without Crumbling

Or any kind of soap for that matter...

So you ask why do you cut soaps? 

Simply because it will last longer!!! ♥

Ever since I've heard of this I never went back to using whole soaps. Who wouldn't want their stuff to last longer? Not only can you easily hold the soap without slipping, you also save money this way.

I jumped in to the hype of this soap that is said to have amazing benefits aside from whitening in just one wash! If you're an online junkie and shopper, you probably heard of the popular Tokyo Love Soap.

Please wait for my review on this soap. For now I will share with you how I cut Tokyo Love Soap without it crumbling.

Now if you know about this soap then you should know that this is PRICEY for a soap therefore, cutting it to make it last longer is a must!

I've read online that this usually lasts a month to 1 1/2 month. We can stretch that time period by cutting it.

I have four Tokyo Love Soaps: 1 Original, 2 Professional and 1 Premium

I tried the original first and my first cutting was fine and I just used our kitchen knife that I always use for cutting soaps. 

I just cut a 1/4 slice on the side. It lasted for 3 weeks or more.

 and then I needed to cut again but....

It crumbled! 

This has never happened to me before! 

And so I just patched these pieces together with drops of water and pressing them.

As you can see I still have more than half of the soap left after cutting.

I just forced finished the patched up bar today and before that happened I thought about a way to cut this soap nicely and perfectly without crumbling like that.

And that is by using a simple cutter. Also some sunflower oil (or any oil you have) and cotton.

So I'll be cutting this Professional variant which sadly, got attacked by ants before getting to me...

The problem was in the plastic of the packaging.

Why do they have 4 holes in them?!!! Arg!!

Oh well, atleast they didn't devour the whole thing...

Anyways going back to the cutting...

♥ Coat the blade thoroughly with oil using cotton.

                     ♥ Start sliding the blade in a straight line using a bit of pressure until you hit the bottom.

♥ Clean and coat the blade again before cutting the half into a quarter.

♥ At this point, I was able to slide the blade downward very easily

♥ Almost perfect except a thin part on the bottom. 

♥ That's the result of cutting too quickly. :p

Use less pressure and just slide the blade as you approach the bottom part. 

♥ You can cut it even smaller but I'm happy with the size since I'll use it for my whole body and not just the face.

♥ Get a  piece and place it in your soap dish.

♥ Don't leave it in the shower as it will just melt.

♥ Don't wet it too much and use just the right amount.

♥ See how longer your soap will last.
