TL;DR
Liquids, gels and aerosols are limited to 100ml per container (this includes liquid soap, honey, yogurt, syrups, creams). Solid bar soap and other solid items (like food-shaped souvenirs) are not liquids, so they're allowed in any quantity/weight.
According to official Batumi Airport rules, the 100ml limit applies only to liquids, gels and aerosols (liquid soap, honey, jam, yogurt, syrups, creams). Solid items, including bar soap, are exempt and allowed in any weight.
Solid souvenirs (e.g. decorative food-shaped figurines) don't count as liquids and aren't subject to weight restrictions — they can be carried in hand luggage without issues.
In practice, staff at Batumi Airport sometimes mistakenly treat solid bar soap as a liquid and ask travelers to discard it if it weighs over 100g, even though this isn't technically correct per the rules. It helps to point out at security that it's a solid item, not a liquid.
