Loofah sponge soap saver
Bar soap, especially hand-made versions, last longer when not sitting in water. Solution? Buy (or grow your own) a loofah and cut using a serrated knife into slices. These soap savers are especially helpful in the shower. When they get too funky, wash out and dry or throw away and use a new one.
