Prefer a certain "flavor" and lots of it? Then buying in bulk is the best deal for you! Our soap loaves are created from the "first cut" of the soap block, prior to cutting the individual bars. We do not cut them into individual bars and wrap them, therefore less labor for us, and more savings for you! Our soap loaves are the same traditional square shape but approximately 12 - 13 inches in length. Since our soaps are considered to be "soft" soaps, they will not splinter or break off when cutting. Simply use a cutting block and a large knife when cutting. Score the soap prior to cutting if desired and apply equal pressure downward to cut your own bars.
