The First Rolling Hand Soap
Rolling hand soap? What is that, and who really cares, right? Well if your reading this, does that mean you are curious? Curious, like me?
I’m always curious and always learning, but I will tell you several things I am not. I am not a writer. I am not a blogger. I am not a journalist. So why this section on Rolling Hand Soaps? Well, my website had a section for journal/blog writing, and I chose to fill that spot. Simple as that. …sooo if you are reading this, I’m both sorry and grateful. I really don’t want to sound like all the other blogs out there and maybe you like reading blogs but most of the time, reading is not my thing. Not anymore. I actually prefer listening to reading. Hence the audible apps on all of my devices (and please note, audible is not paying me, nor has ever paid me a dime to say that - I just love audible).
So in my normal transparency, I want to share with you the birth of our rolling hand soaps, just in case your curious mind got the best of you. This all happened, one normal, boring day after the Corona Virus outbreak and after the mandatory “requests” for everyone to stay at home. I was bored and possibly curious at the same time and just messing around with things in my master bathroom. I happened to have a broken glass tube sitting on my bathroom counter, don’t ask me why, and there was a wet bar of soap sitting beside my sink that was just sitting in a small pool of water. For some odd reason I wanted to clean this glass tube so I pushed the tube into the bar of wet soap. Then I left it. …and a couple of days later when I came back to it, not really intending to do anything with it, I decided it was time to cleanup my “playtime” mess. It was time to discard of this soap sailboat I had created. I quickly broke off the mast of the sailboat (glass tube with soap halfway through it). I then took a couple of q-tips and used them to push the soap out. There in my hand lay this smooth, about 2 inch long, tube of soap. I decided to try out its shape under some warm running water and to my amazement that soap rolled perfectly in my hands suddenly making me wonder why soap of this shape had never been created before! …and from that day, my interest in soap-making began.
And that is how the rolling hand soap came into existence. From that point, I consulted with my long-time friend and we started researching how soap was made and from there the experiments started.
We truly believe that this rolling hand soap is a God send whether it’s just for us and our families or for the whole world to see and try. Only time will tell. …but as for me, my friend and our families, we will NEVER go back to the traditional “square” soaps or liquid detergents that have been forced upon our society. Nope. We will forever use our own products that are much more functional than tradition.
