Cusson's Imperial Leather Bath Soap
I just scored two bars of Trumper's Spanish Leather bath soap, and
find it nearly identical to Imperial Leather soap!
The disparity in quality, scent and latherability is so small
that it doesn't justify the price difference.
Needless to say, I'll be going with the cheaper option in future!

Finally used up my bar of Kirk's Castile and broke out a brand new bar of Imperial Leather this morning. It's good bath soap, obviously, not that they were waiting breathlessly for my report. But I'm glad to have located it, and it's just a little bit more identifiable as "mine" than the others have been. Puzzled a couple of seconds over the sticker, decided it was meant to be removed so off it went.

Gareth, The ones we get here, which are marked as 'Made in the UK', are plastic wrapped and then packaged in individual cardboard containers which are white and red. The soap is light tan in color and smells quite a bit like Trumpers Almond shave soap. These are marked as 'Original'. One also sometimes sees white cakes but these are marked 'for sensitive skin'....or something like that, and have a more feminine floral scent.
Regards,
Gordon

The package I got at the Indian Grocery was more like Gareth's.Gareth wrote:Gary no, unfortunately not. They now wrap each bar in clear plastic and then package them all up in one big plastic wrapper with Imperial Leather on it.
