Was the soap hard like solid bar or soft in texture if squeezed?

Hard like the photo. Can be squeezed into bar shape. Stays together well once wet.

It's solid, yet if you squeeze it, it can be formed and molded. The texture is a soft solid if that makes sense.

I easily cut the block that it comes in, into 1" slices and molded each slice (by pressing firming) into denser, easier to use shapes. I just used it to wash my hands and it really lathers wonderfully and does not strip or leave a yucky waxy film on the skin. I haven't showered with it yet, but I'm anticipating that I will enjoy using it. I should mention I'm typically very sensitive to most soaps and cleansers which is why I decided to try this.

The soap is soft, yet firm enough to hold shape. If you squeeze it firmly, especially when it is moist, you can shape the bar to your hand. Also, depending upon the shape and size of the RAW soap you received you might want to take a sharp knift, put the soap bar on a firm surface, and cut the soap to the desired size. You cannot let this soap set in standing want or it will literally melt. I apply it directly rubbing softly. A wash cloth is not necessary in my opinion. A really great soap that cleans thoroughly but leaves no soapy sticky feeling behind. Hope this helps. Side note, do not bbuy this soap if 'looks' is important. This is RAW 'home-made soap. Same as the difference between buying processed honey vs. raw, unprocessed, unheated honey. They look very different.

If you take great care of it, it will stay hard. Don't expose it to too much water.

It came hard in the shape of a brick. But with multiple exposures to water it does become softer and softer so be sure to keep it dry.

What I got was a chunk about five inches square. It is firm, but somewhat pliable with many voids and gaps. I have a "La Roquefortaise" guillotine type cheese slicer that I used to slice it into five "bars". It did crumble a bit, but I just pressed the loose pieces back into the bars of soap. It is quite rustic and organic, it is not a pristinely formed Proctor and Gamble "solid bar" of soap.

The soap that I buy comes in a large block. I cut it into smaller bars, and wet it just like regular soap. It makes a nice lather but you have to be careful not to let this soap float in water because of its delicate nature. It tends to melt quickly if you leave it in water. I have used the liquid version and I only use about 2 caps worth to make a nice foamy bath. Hope this helps. Good luck...SKW

none foaming, ALL NATURAL. It's not a cream, either----thinking of cream, as in hand cream. It's clear visually. Harsh chemicals is what makes soaps "foam"/lather......basically garbage for you skin!This product dosen't do that! JUST LEAVES YOU FRESH & GIVES YOU THAT CLEAN FEEL......NO RESIDUE. Hope this helped, try several scents, I love them all!

Its not a liquid and not as hard as bar soap... at room temp its almost like chap stick but a little softer... it does work for chap stick, dry hands, leather, and on wooden axe handles... Ive tried all these personally... hope this helps:)

It's more of a rubbery substance... nothing like the foam grips that slip-on. However, it's got a little give to it, so it's not a hard substance either.

It's a hard cream haha... So, it's in a plastic container, and it is too soft to hold, but very firm. You can put a dent in it if you push on the surface with your finger.

I guess it's more or less a solid. It builds up a lather when you swirl your brush around in it.

the texture is solid not soft, when you apply it in your hands it warms up to be like a butter.

I can't tell you that , but I like this soap , this is a wonderful bar of soap that is mild, moisturizing, cleans well , Moroccan red clay is a gentle clay but just the clay ,must dry your skin out . My skin definitely feels less oily and this soap does not dry out .

Here is my 2 cents having been teaching myself about Hot processed soaps. It should never be 'wrapped in plastic', this will not allow the water to evaporate which makes the bar harder. I have cured my last piece and it is now hard like other soaps. The Hard pieces are part of the natural process. Its made from the ash of plantains skins and cocoa pods; so yes you will get pieces from time to time; but my mother taught me to use wash cloths and I don't have that problem. Personally I will not be buying this again as it doesn't come in blocks anymore. I'm going to go locally as they still come in blocks.

I would say its soft to medium. Its a light density foam, but has a good structure. Holds the contents well with no roughness or marking to the contents.

Feels more like Stretched Rubber. It is not squishy, if that is what you are asking.

Mild soap. I also pour out the excess water not utilized so the interior is easier to keep clean.

Probably just soap like the rest of them. Best bubbles in a bottle we've ever bought! But a refill when it runs out. You'll love it!

Yeah, that is strange! But the soap says 32 oz, as in 2 pounds. Sorry, your guess at the discrepancy is as good as mine. Ha! Feels like 2 pounds to me! Good soap.

The bar of soap comes wrapped inside the box so when I opened the package the smell was delightful but faded afterwards and the actual affect washing with it is minimal but that's my personal opinon, I've used a tea tree body wash and got more of the effect (maybe a wash liquid is more concentrated). But the size of the bar and quality of the soap is good.

It looks like a translucent brownish gray jelly like substance, kind of like machine grease. It is not running or liquid so, yes I would say it is solid.
