This here is a wooden soap dish. It’s not expensive and lets the water drain off your bar soap so it doesn’t become a disgusting mess in your shower. This is a useful tool if you’re in to bar soap, unless you like the mushy feel of squishy bar soap.
If you dig super squishy and messy bar soap, then carry on and keep on keepin’ on. If you don’t like mushy soap, you might want to drop the five bucks on this.
