Look what I'm doing for scouts! That's... Um... It's soap carving. Ah. Yes, I see. And what are you carving? Soap. I meant, what shape are you carving it into? Snow? Sure. That works for me.

Do they still make Ivory Snow? Flakes of Ivory Soap for laundry use. Used to be used on old TV shows to simulate actual snow. Or has Ivory Snow been supplanted by detergents? (I could look it up, but I don’t care quite enough.)

OK, so I broke down and looked it up. Ivory Snow apparently still exists, but according to Wikipedia, is really a detergent. It seems I was actually thinking of a product called Ivory Flakes, discontinued in 1978.

Snow was about all I could carve from a bar of Ivory as a kid, too.

I too had trouble carving things … however, I LOVED to whittle away a few hours with a nice stick.

Ivory soap is the whittling practice standard. Other soaps don’t carve well.

I carved my bar of Ivory soap into a milk truck. Other kids showed off their artie side.
