Traditional Soap

Your Mother used this as a threat, but a Savonnerie in France advises brushing your teeth with Savon de Marseille..


They also reccomended shaving with it too...

 
I ordered a fragrance free 100% Turkish olive oil soap, to have delivered a heavily fragranced soap with moisturisers...
 
That's the way to do it, you will be the soap King of eBay :) P.
The soaps on eBay are very disappointing at the moment, they are not good value for money and often, as my post above illustrates, misrepresented. I bought a Turkish soap from a new UK supplier, her soaps came from Italy and were repackaged Turkish and Aleppo soap. I used to buy Turkish soap in Amsterdam for €0.50, now it's up to £6-8.00...

There is an opening on eBay for an honest seller of quality soaps, you could clean up!!! :) P.

I have ordered the samples, provided my DHL corporate account and PayPal.
Let's see what happens...

These soaps may already be on eBay, but they start from £24.00.
 
What soap do you use?
I've used all sorts over the years, even some of the American artisan ones and SV. It's like a feeling of all the skin oils are stripped and just makes me feel weird. Like that feeling when you rub a balloon. Puts my teeth on edge. I did have a Turkish Olive Oil soap before but can't remember if I tried it as a body soap as it was recommended for hair. I think I still have a full bar in my sock drawer.

Try a Shea Butter bath soap with Almond oil.
 
I'm going to keep an eye on this thread to see if @Sabre manages to secure a bulk buy of soap. I'm a complete convert to soap for shower use all though these days i've started to make my own, with my current favorite formulation being 45% tallow, 40% coconut oil, 10% olive oil and 5% castor oil. I make all mine cold process as i found the only real difference is the curing time and i keep enough stock to allow a good 6 weeks curing.
