How do I stop soap from sticking to my cutter?!

[SmallThings]

Maybe a silly question... I have a straight edge, regular ol' handle and blade soap cutter and everytime I cut soap, the soap sticks to the cutter like a suction cup! It drives me nuts. Are there any tips to prevent this? I've tried wetting the blade just before cutting, but that didn't help. And I'm hesitant to add anything to the blade that may end up on my soap.

Have you tried coating the cutter blade with mineral oil?

Switch to a wire cutter.

@Chay - I've heard that wire cutters don't work well with M&P. The M&P I get is very hard, I would be hesitant to try cutting it with a wire cutter

@lsg - Sounds like it could work, I'll give that a try.

Since it's MP, you could try some vegetable oil instead of mineral oil. It might work as well.
