Warning Not Food: Reforming Soap Scraps

I am a weirdo who saves all her soap scraps. I have used one kind of bath soap all my life. it does not cause me skin reactions, it does not leave film on my tub or my skin. I like to save last of each bar, it is like a thick sliver, and when we go camping, we take one with us, and then we throw out whatever is left afterward, then we are not bringing any grossness back to our camper form the public showers. Well, my pile of ends no longer fit in the jar I had designated for it. So, I decided to attempt to re-form them.

Note, I SHOULD have microwaved them before placing them into my food processor to be ground to a powder. if you microwave soap, it will froth up into something that looks like shaving cream, but is dry, and will crumble almost into a powder, easier on your food processor...so you have been warned. I could have easily liked what is left of my good old food processor today.

Some recipes say to add water, i decided against it. Instead I melted some cheap coconut oil, so that perhaps my newly formed bars might add more moisture. i hope they do not clog my drains, or make my tub too slippery and make filmy rings. Anyhow, I melted about a half cup of hardened coconut oil, and added the powdered soap, and heated and stirred and mixed.I may have added a little water, now I cannot recall.. They are set, and out of the greased muffin tins, but they are still soft...more about them later.

I am using my little sample piece, and it is more moisturizing than in it original form. Will see if it cures and drys and how it "wears" in the soap dish.
