Slab mold cuts??

[McKherring Farm]

I have only used loaf molds, individual cavity molds, or the cylinder mold up to this point. I recently purchased a 4lb slab mold and used it for the first time over the weekend. I am curious how you guys cut your slabs of soap - not "how" - but, what dimensions of bars do you usually cut? I have 9 "bricks" cut. While they are pretty (despite being a failed concentric circle attempt), they are sure big! At least they seem that way to me. So...what sizes do you guys cut yours in?

I struggle with this too lol. I'm looking forward to answers here

I bought 6" slabs so I could do 2x3" bars. I'm not fond of larger sizes.

How thick do you usually pour yours to be? I cut mine down to 2" X 3" but they are THICK! I don't know why I didn't think about it before filling the slab to the top!

I pour to 2.25" thick. I split horizontally so I end up with 1" thick bars after planing.
