What was that horrible rock hard green soap called, the one that it would have taken you till the end of time to get it to lather.

And you forgot dove soap. That's the best.

Dove will be in 'Other', alongside @Drago s Sand & Fairy Liquid.. 👍🏼

I am surprised Drago hasn't started a "what will you do if you run out of loo roll during lock down " thread.

Wrights Coal Tar Soap is no longer made to the original formula. It's now only coal tar scented soap.

I still have 12 rolls from the last lockdown. Ordered pack of six but they had run out of 6s so they gave me 24 for the same price. Nice quality to boot. Will see if that works again but I am dependent on everyone panicking buying. Please help and panic buy!

No, your memory is sound!
I've never stooped to it, but it was a sort of press where you saved slivers then reformed them into another bar.
Used to turn up regularly in "penny-pincher" type things, along with a larger version to turn old newspapers into fire logs.

ah, thanks.
I'd actually like one - if you know where such a thing can be had, just let me know - just a question of knowing what to search for on ebay I suppose? Yes I remember the fire log thing as well - probably in the back pages of newspapers along with unconvincing army surplus stuff, amazingly comfortable stretch pants and glasses for seeing through women's clothes.

I see you know exactly what I mean!

Aldi "Vivid" shower gel or whatever pump soap TK Maxx have that smells ok.

Whatever's on offer at the supermarket when the other one runs low.

I have delicate skin.. Those cheapo soaps make me itchy & scratchy!

Wrights Coal Tar Soap is no longer made to the original formula. It's now only coal tar scented soap.

It's not even called coal tar any more, because there's none in it, just Wright's Traditional Soap.

Never mind, now we are out of the EU we can start putting the coal tar back in. There's a bonus of Brexit.

Another point: Does Dove contain any actual doves? Why didn't the EU stop that?

 

[PeteXXX]

And does Pears contain any actual pears?
Plus, they make a cucumber Pears..
That's 2 of your 5 a day right there!!

Pumpy soap is the work of the Devil, probably invented by the idiot who came up with squirty Marmite/cheese/marmalade etc.

I go for unscented simple soap.

 

[Rusty Nails]

When I was a lad, before going out in the night I'd always have good wash in rumpy-pumpy soap in case I got lucky.

Shudder. A bit too full on for me - the thing referred to above was something for squashing slivers together. I did do an ebay search but wasn't successful. Someone should do a skinflints online storefront.
