An apparatus, comprising:
- a generally solid block of soap;
- and
- a sponge attached to the block of soap, the sponge having a first side and being attached to a first side of the block of soap to form an integral construction of the soap and sponge;
- an adhesive attached to a first side of the sponge;
- a plate interposed between the soap and the adhesive, the plate attaching to the soap on a first side of the plate and the adhesive on a second side of the plate to interconnect the soap and the sponge;
- and
- a plurality of posts projecting from the plate, each post having a generally semi-spherical cover formed thereon wherein the soap is poured onto the plate in a liquid state and forms in a solid state to engage the semi-spherical covers, thereby bonding the soap to the plate, and wherein posts in proximity to a center of the soap project deeper into the soap than posts spaced further away from the center of the soap.
