How do you use Bitzer

Okay, so I love the smell and feel of the Bitzer balm (I now have 2) but am struggling to get the best out of it.

Surely there’s a better way to use it than just rubbing the bar on myself? It’s a strange consistency to use in that way as it doesn’t melt as fast as a massage bar and feels like I’m just rubbing a block of butter on my body.

How do you get the best out of this type of bar?

Should I cut it up or will that make it harder to use?

Any help is much appreciated 🥰
