Ron, thx for reminding me about Nancy Boy. I want to get some of their stuff.rsp1202 wrote:I can never seem to put the few bucks together to order some more Nancy Boy Sweetgrass or Signature soap -- other grooming items keep popping up that take precedence. So I keep returning to the Tom's of Maine unscented since it's sold locally OTC. The new formulation isn't quite as good as the old one, but it still lathers okay and I avoid the annoying scents the drugstore/market brands all share.

Yes well, if they went off-spec, then they'd risk running the wrath of my fellow employees and I to look for an alternative location to stay at.Squire wrote:At least you got soap Wendell, last place we stayed only had body wash.

Old Spice - They've used different scents on these new bath soaps. The one I'm using currently is called Swagger, and it's just a pleasant, non-invasive masculine soapy scent. The other one I got is called Bearglove, apparently more of an herbal note. I haven't used that one yet, just smelled of it. I'm sure neither of these fragrances would remind us of the Original.

Located a bar of Yardley Pomegranate which is a bit floral for my tastes but worth a try.

Picked up 4 new turtle shelled cases of Tabac Luxury Bath soap...smells a bit more synthetic that as I remembered it. Last tried it in 2008? Spicy goodness then...still nice but first bar I used was milder but lathered up nicely.

A pre formulation (tar) Vinolia gifted by another member found with the near empty WoW bottle. I've used tar based products for horses (also removed from market. The remarkable qualities of tar for skin care far outweighs the cancer risk we face from everything else.
Re: What bath soap are you using right now?
Picked up a few bars of "Socrates" at the recent Greek Festival.Really nice lather and potent "parfum".The first bar I am now using is Tabac...Soap is actually "made in Cyprus"....
Re: What bath soap are you using right now?
Today kicked off with a new bar of Nancy Boy Blossomwood soap. it's a big bar, fairly priced, has a pleasant fragrance, and lathers and rinses great. I'm looking forward to using it.

Yardley English Lavender
Re: What bath soap are you using right now?
I usually use Dove but just received Synergy CAD Dead Sea salt bath soap in the mail. It smells a bit like Barbasol/Rive Gauche. The scent is nice. I'll give it a week to see if it bothers my skin though.

Re: What bath soap are you using right now?
While in London I bought a 3 pack of the English Yardley Lavender soap ( which, the package says is now actually made in Germany....sigh...I mean, REALLY?! ). Even though I knew that it was now palm oil based I just couldn't resist the packaging....and the nostalgia. Actually, so far, it's turned out pretty well. It was a slow starter but after the first few uses it started to lather up really nicely and I haven't had any of the skin issues that I've often had with veg. oil based soaps...at least not so far. The scent is still basically the same as how I remember it but it seems a bit more subdued...or maybe my sense of smell is just slowly going. Anyway, I'm quite pleased that I took the risk and bought it.
