I have hand eczema and so I have to buy special bars of soap which are more or less just made from oatmeal. It's good stuff but I'm going through a $3 bar of soap a week and it's getting kinda ridiculous! I'm really considering making my own soon. That ought to bring the cost down to almost $0 since I probably already have many of the ingredients needed.

That sounds awesome. Well, not the eczema, but making your own soap does. In many soaps there's harsh chemicals and fragrances - I hate fragrances, I just want plain old soap! It might be that making my own soap is the solution for me as well. Do you know how to make it?
