Both exactly the same with one exception. The one on the left made with 50% finely shredded oatmeal/cinnamon vegan natural soap, partially melted. The one on the right made with 50% SCI. All other ingredients were the same.

Additional details and lather/pH testing results.
Recipe (both bars were made exactly the same with the exception of the first ingredient. One bar with 50% natural soap shavings, the 2nd bar with 50% SCI powder):
Results of initial testing: SCI bar very hard within hours of molding. Soap based bar still a bit soft after two days but it is getting harder, although very slowly.
Current takeaways:
Remove rye flour and replace with a powdered herb ... possibly rosemary, horsetail or marshmallow root powder. Possibly a combination of the 3. Marshmallow will give it some added slip.

I like it a lot once I made a few more changes.
I removed the soapwart, yucca and reduced the foaming soy to 4%. I also changed the herbs a bit. Added Marshmallow for more slip. Increased the amount of horsetail and oat straw. Also added a little Amla.
