Really?
Difficult to choose something from a country that is younger than some of our posters' houses.
Hi Ben,
Looks as though Vinny was stirring things as usual. He likes being the straw, which is always interesting. Coming out with semi outrageous statements in a matter of fact manner, which I do enjoy. Vinnie, you scamp, you. Always goofing on the members.
Now Ben, if the question was "What Yankee soaps SHOULD you most want to try, I would have responded. I find things are sometimes not included on certain lists because of any lack of member's personal experience. I am happy to mention a couple of US soaps that are as good or better than anything else I have ever tried. Forget the scent in some of these old, things but this is about performance.Heh, only problem is they are all extinct. Kind of a downside maybe.......
First of all you got Old Spice and then there's Lentheric and Ralph Lauren Safari. All excellent. Also, some of the very old Surrey (bought years ago by VDH) is nice stuff.
I have used this small group and they are pretty darn good and ones everbody should have on their want to try list. There's others made in Yankeetown I have heard of but never tried. Then you have soaps like Burma Shave and Aramis and Halston that are not so good.
Top of the list to try soaps would include the old Yardly stuff and also the C&S line is really good and actually available still. Y'all should also want to try Tabac and MWF.
Ok, that's plenty for now,
Martin
