I realized that a month ago I spent time crafting soap into brains and didn’t document the results for future generations, all of whom will have 3-d printers built into their iPhones and will not be impressed by soap carving.
The carved soap project began with some Yardley’s lavender soap I got as a gift, years ago, that always seemed meant for a higher purpose than being rubbed into my armpits.
Here is that result.
Carving soap is easy. Like all humans I know how to carve soap, but for the molded soap project I had to learn how to melt stable store-bought soap, plus how to fashion a silicone mold from an existing 3.5 inch brain soap and a butter tub.
Here is that result.
A little lumpy, some pits, but what brain does not have a few pits and holes?

These results are both excellent and entertaining!
(and I would love to know if whoever gave you the lavender soap thinks it being carved into a brain is a higher calling than your armpits, and what exactly *is* the ranking for highest calling for fancy soap, precisely? Being carved into a brain and then sitting out and lightly scenting the bathroom for years before use and then being a fossilized soap token that barely suds-es but is used by guests? Or undergoing the admitted indignities of normal bathing/showering?)
KC – Guest should feel welcome to use the soap, because i could keep carving brain wrinkles into it until it is a sliver.
