I'd recommend either Maja or Magno soap. Maja is a little more scented. I get mine from Thesoapopera.com. BTW, they have a HUGE selection.

My big hang up about diesel is the price. It's not unusual for diesel to be selling for 15-25 cents more a gallon here than regular. When I took organic, I was led to believe that diesel required less refining. Did I sleep through that class?

I've got four types of creams and four of the soaps. I switch on a daily basis. Makes life interesting, keeps me thing and drives SWMBO up the wall. (Of course, having seven different sewing machines is understandable).
