It is what I use for my showers, I love it.Originally Posted by rigger67
I've recently gone back to good ole Wright's Coal Tar soap.
I'd forgotten just how beautiful the smell is, though it is also a bit Marmite as some people can't stand it.
I even bought a couple of these for my bathroom to really take it back to the 70s

I use Imperial Leather because I bought a whole box of it years ago very cheap. Think I might be on the last bar now. Can you still buy it?

There is no shower here (apart from family, but I'd sooner have a bath anyway. I don't like shower gels, many of them have a greasy, slippery character which I find unpleasant. Give me a bar of soap anytime.

I haven't had a bath for about 40 years. I was never a fan of baths as a child. You either had to fill the bath so high that my father beat all the skin off me before I had a chance to sample the depths as I had used all the hot water (despite the fact that we had on of those water heater things on the wall that killed you if you used it whilst in the bath and in theory offered hot water on demand) or you sat in an inch of water and shivered (no central heating in our terraced victorian slum)
Actually, I have realised that my OP is a little misleading in that I suffer from dry skin and have to slather myself in Aqueous cream to stop my skin falling off, (or rather me scratching it off for an hour after I have showered) so the heinous shower gel does not really permeate my skin. Maybe that is why I am still alive.

When I have had to suffer a shower and tried to use soap, I've always ended up dropping it. It's so damn slippery. That's ok if you have a decent size shower, but those over-bath jobbies with a nylon curtain make it hell bending down to rescue the soap. Is that what they mean by "don't drop the soap?Do you have a bar each or share everyones hairs

Yesh, it helps if you don't leave it for 6 months between each bath!
I like a bath to sit and have a nice soak in, when I have time (there are ceiling speakers fitted in our bathroom, so I can relax and listen to some choons), but will generally take a shower. Always use soap though, never gel, which is 100% natural and organic:

Having been to boarding school I have a lifelong aversion from showers. Take off your clothes and stand in line in the draughty house gym. [I was 33rd out of 34 boys.] Boys went into the shower room in threes. Once finished we were required to bend over for inspection. This, apparently, was to ensure that you had washed your perineum properly. Not all masters were diligent in the execution of their duty in this regard. Junior house only mind.
