Bars of Soap

[Robbie]

My old place used to supply us with swarfega hand wash and Lifeboy blocks of soap as a basic .

Carbolic soap , whatever that means but the smell will live with me forever .

Forget Dove and new genaration hand cleansers to make your hands soft , tele ads thrive on it .

My hands and skin coverings are still working as well as they were before fancy PR.

I take it that carbolic soap is for washing your carbolics...

Oh yes indeed, makes you feel all fresh and glowing, honest

I never cared one way or the other about them but my wife didn't like them so we never had any, said they were unhygienic, especially shared ones and made a mess around the washbasins and showers but she always put a bar of Dove in the glovebox of each of our cars, just in case.

Another product that boils my pish is shaving gel! What's the point of that! You squirt it into the palm of your hand, then spent the next 30 seconds lathering it into a foam! Why not just buy shaving foam and save yourself the effort

Just in case of what?

I keep a packet of baby wipes in the boot just in case of any eventuality

Mostly in case she had to use a public toilet.

Years ago on a trip from college I went to a place in London called Knights bone and fat recycling plant where they boiled down the carcasses of dead animals ( cows sheep cats dogs etc ) to make tallow used in the manufactor of soap amongst other thing the pile we saw was as high as a two story house and the smell made me leave the building, totally gross.

That makes sense now why you can buy vegan soap - didn't realise that Tallow was used in soap.

I dont mind the gel to be fair, but fvck in ell, cant they sort out the pressure in the cans, everyone I've ever bought, it looses pressure after a few applications, either that or they seep all over the place when your not looking, kin useless. Anyway I nick the missus one now anyway ( no she hasn't got a tash), same shite except it's got a girly sniff to it.
