Well spotted, it appears to be the same and cheaper, they also have a PayPal account making ordering easier.What's the difference between the carbolic soap found at Jupiter and the one sold by the Carbolic Soap Co? I've seen the latter before as they sell MWF as well.
Memories if school come flooding back thinking about that soap and the Izal toilet paper we had to use.

I bought some Blue Power carbolic soap made in Jamaica via eBay, seems to be a very good soap and at a good price.My paternal grandparents used Fairy soap on the farm as I can remember the green bar in their bathroom.
Report back on your Redbuoy experience, please.
I received a 0.5kg block from the carbolic soap Co but have not used yet although it smells wonderful and I also received three bars of Blue Power Carbolic soap that was made in Jamaica and is very good indeed.Any updates?
Yes I've got it sitting on a rack so it drys out.The Blue Power is very soft, so remember to set it where it can dry well lest it go mushy on the bottom.
I found another one that is cheap that I will try in the future:

Both Blue Power and the carbolic soap from the CSC are good. The real deal, ie contains carbolic acid, just like granny's block of soapHi chaps
Any updates on how good the Carbolic Soap Company stuff is?
The Jupiter website doesn't mention that it's the real deal. The gumph it gives on the 'Lifebuoy' soap page claims that it is regarded as the 'original' Lifebuoy soap, but then later says it conforms to the latest EU regs. So looks like that's just a con, old skool packaging and name, but not real carbolic soap! Their 'Redbuoy' soap looks dodgy too, it doesn't say either way if it is proper carbolic soap. Many customers would only buy it if it's proper carbolic soap, so you'd think if it were the real deal that they would say so. Stinks 'o rat to me!
The soap on the Etsy link is Blue Power soap, if you zoom in you can see it says 'BLUE POWER' on the label
