A soap bar is small; the tray beneath it can occupy an unexpectedly large part of a narrow sink ledge. Joseph Joseph’s light-gray Slim dish changes the arrangement by holding the bar more upright, so a tight countertop can look less crowded without replacing the basin.
The shape solves a particular problem
Its angled body is intended to reduce the space taken up by a full-size bar. Measure your soap and the ledge first. A deep decorative bar or irregular handmade soap may behave differently from the smooth, rounded bar shown in the manufacturer photographs.
The maker lists an approximately 8.4 by 3.6 by 7.1 centimetre body. Check orientation as well as dimensions: a dish that fits on paper can still interfere with a tap lever or sit awkwardly on a sloping surface.
Less visible residue is not no residue
The design allows excess water and suds to move away from the bar, and the two-part body comes apart for cleaning. That is a reason to establish a cleaning routine, not to forget the water below the soap.
Hand wash, rinse and dry the components according to the instructions. If you prefer a completely open tray where every drop is visible, the compact enclosed shape may not be your favourite compromise.
A modest improvement, not a bathroom makeover
Choose it for a small guest basin or a narrow shelf where the footprint of a conventional tray is the annoyance. Skip it if your current dish drains well and has ample room. The selected offer is one white-and-gray 70511 dish, not the two-pack or stainless-steel version. The satisfaction comes from a tidier arrangement of something you use every day, rather than an additional bathroom gadget.
