A few years back, my Dermatologist recommended a certain brand of soap.  It was just plain soap.  No scents, no creams, just plain, cheap, rectangular soap.  Good stuff.  Worked well.

Well, I guess there wasn’t enough demand for that particular brand of soap so our local Meijer (regional grocery store) quit carrying it.  Rats!

I found the soap at another grocery chain in Grand Rapids, so, I would stock up on it when ever I got the chance.  But, after awhile, I got tired of making soap runs.   So, I decided it was time to change brands.

While I was not familiar with the different brands of soap, I knew what I did not want.  I did not was silky smooth skin and I didn’t want to smell like spring time in Ireland.

So, I grabbed my first three pack of soap to give it a try.  The brand seemed basic and cheap.  But when I got it home and opened it up, the bar was not rectangular in shape.  It was, well, curvy.  It short, there was not a flat spot on the whole bar.

Now, I guess the idea is that this type of bar contours to your body.  And, I guess that it does.  My problem is that I can’t seem to hold on to it.  Those curves just make it difficult to grasp.  So, after the first batch of bars, I decided to try a different brand.

Going through the soap isle once again, I discovered that most of the bars of soap are all shaped the same as the brand that I had just tried.  The only exception seemed to be the Lava.  But, I didn’t think that I wanted to bath with that.  So, I picked up every bar of soap and felt it through the rapper to see if it was curvy or flat.

And even though I did get some strange looks from other shoppers, I finally found a package of soap bars that were rectangular and cheap.  I guess you  pay extra for those curves.

Well, anyway, I will give it a try as soon as I am finished with the last curvy bar of soap.
