Love Dial Soap but lately I find the soap retains water and cracks in half when bar is about half used. I never leave my soap all wet or in a wet soap dish so I am not the culprit. I have about 22 bars in my cabinet and am hoping they will not all be soft and fall apart. My mother used Dial soap and I do the same. It smells so clean and fresh and the bathroom smells nice with Dials scent. User's recommendation: Buy Dial soap,, has passed the test of time...
