Title: soap ,
Post by: alfred on April 11, 2022, 08:21:20 AM
We all like to wash using a fragrant soap but it seems much of the soaps on sale don't have a strong smell , so can you name soaps that have a strong smell to them,


sandal wood comes to mind,  your turn,

Hi Alfred..
I don't use perfumed/scented soap.. My skin is delicate..
I use Wrights Coal Tar.. I never use shower gel .. too slippery underfoot.

I use shower gel Alfred, it's not strong smelling.  Usually it's what's on offer !  :grin:

We only use Dove creamy soap here. It's better than shaving foam too!

It's Dove shower gel here and Dove toilet soap in the bathrooms, but it's Dettol soap in the kitchen, as that's where he washes the farm off his hands when he comes in.

at the Pit we got soap at ten pence a bar, it was special soap to suit the local water and was way beyond any of the branded bars... we all know the difference of our water from one area to the other, i wonder if the soap companies sell us the correct soap for our district?... i usually bring Dove from the UK but didnt this year...
there is no water pressure here so we bathe out of a bucket....lol... to wash your left armpit which hand holds the water-jug :?: .... surprisingly its the left hand....lol...

I use Dove soap which is lightly scented and very gentle. Smooth enough to wet shave with.

BUT - I also use Tea Tree and Mint shower gel. It's cleans you by removing a layer of skin lol.

Tea Tree and Mint shampoo is lovely, leaves your scalp all tingling. Smells good too.  :yahoo:

OH uses Tea tree & Mint. I like something less strong smelling. Dove, Imperial Leather, Pears soaps at home, and any shower gel when I go to the pool.
