Viewing the process as a whole, ignoring the extraneous dye and stamps; it’s a pretty simple to make usable:
- Mix fat with sodium hydroxide.
- Solidify soap into shape suitable for compaction (in this case, ribbons).
- Repeatedly compact shaped soap into desired shape.
How efficient and usable would the soap be if it was just sold as cut ribbions, instead of bars?
I’ve heard mint will take over garden plots if not physically constrained, so watch out for that.
Totally agree on herbs, though. Having fresh herbs in hand makes cooking way tastier and fun, plus fresh herbs from the store are a big rip off (in the u.s. at least) and come with plastic waste. I live in a Mediterranean climate and so my thyme grows as a perennial and we have rosemary growing everywhere ornamentally ♥️
