Abstract: A cantilevered bracket (10) suspends one component (14) of a magnetized element (14/22) and a magnetically attracted element (22/14) pair, while the other element (22) of the pair is embedded in one major surface of the bar of soap. The edges (32) of the element extending downwards into the bar of soap may be made relatively smooth, with gradual transitions along the edge (32) to eliminate jagged protrusions. The exposed major surface area (18) of the element (14) suspended by the bracket is made substantially greater than the exposed surface area (26) of the element (22) embedded in the major surface area of the bar of soap (30). After using the bar of soap (30), the bar is turned with the embedded element of the pair facing vertically upwardly beneath the suspended element of the pair, while the bar (30) is moved to enable the exposed surface (26) of the embedded element (22) to touch the major surface (18) of the suspended element (14).
