The Frugal Soap by Ji Woong Kim is a simple and efficient concept that has only one focus: to use every bit of the soap at hand.

This easy and manageable bar has a convex bottom and concave top. This design is to let the last bit of soap merge right into the concave part of a new soap, letting the two become one whole new soap. The Frugal Soap by Ji Woong Kim is a great way to get to that very last bit of bubbly cleanliness.
