[QUOTE="tomnorth, post: 482387, member: 23657"] I read this tip in the book "To Walk Far, Carry Less." She recommends keeping bar soap in a sandwich sized ziplock bag. In between uses, the soap dries out nicely rather than getting all mushy. I tried this approach on my Camino and it worked perfectly. The larger sized bags don't allow the soap to dry out, so stick with either the snack size or sandwich size. A plastic case is unnecessary added weight in my opinion. Plus, your soap will get all mushy, which will cause you to go through it a lot faster, especially when washing clothes. Regarding cutting the bar of soap in half, I did the same and wished I hadn't. I ran out of that soap halfway through, and yes, you can buy soap along the way, but I couldn't find anything I liked nearly as well as the Dr. Bronner's. Next time I'll bite the bullet and bring an entire bar of Dr. Bronner's. For two of you, I suspect your one bar of Dr. Bronner's will run out, since you use it for washing clothes as well as showering. Some of the alburgues do have bars of soap out for washing clothes. Next time I'll make better use of their soap. [/QUOTE]
