Is there any decent soap left? Recommended me some!

[RiverSkater]

Imperial leather -what happened to it? It's a mushy mess! Eugh, and I've got four bars of the foul stuff.

I'm sure it never used to be so soft and messy. Is there any decently priced soap ( could push the boat out for some quality) that won't mush or crack?

I prefer bar soap to liquid.

Thank you!

I love Imperial Leather. It doesn’t go mushy if you stand it on the little paper label in a dry spot (any bar soap will mush in a puddle IME!)

Get yourself to TKMAXX, there's always lots of lovely soap in the clearance bit, 3 or 4 quid for a massive bar that'll last months.

The best soaps I've had have been handmade jobs from people working for themselves locally. Not especially expensive either (obviously you can pay a lot more).

Otherwise, I get on OK with Dr Bronner, although it wears down quickly I find. Nesti Dante is obviously nice, albeit with a bewildering selection of scent options. Arran Sense of Scotland have some nice ones.

Waitrose own brand - camomile or ginger and something - is really good for a supermarket soap. But comes in cellophane packaging.

Another vote for TK Maxx soaps. Gorgeous big bars of French soap that smell incredible and last around 3 months each.

My Imperial Leather doesn't go mushy. Maybe you need a new soap dish?

I use the cheapest unscented ones - I think its Simple - as anything scented gives me intense itching in my intimate areas! I got one of the plastic soap boxes from Dunelm and its been great for the soap not cracking. I live alone so a bar on a handbasin lasts for ages.

Nesti Dante soaps. I bought the Il Fruttero set of 6 to gift to someone and they smell lovely.

The one I got for myself (regina di peonie) lathers beautifully but is more subtly scented.

Hmm. Could be the dish. It's one of those ones that drain with holes in the bottom, but I'll try the kitchen paper!
Each bar came in plastic , then an outer of plastic. 😕

I usually buy Johnson's baby soap, the honey one but there was none in my shop and this was a substitute.

I need to get to TK Max by the sound of it!

Some good recommendations, thank you!

I love bar soap I have so many , I try to hide them so no one can see my addiction . But I would recommend a soap dish that allows air to flow under the soap . I have one of those shower organizers that hang on the shower door , from B&M I think .
I get most of my soaps from Amazon . I like Nesti Dante , Savon de marseille ( which comes very eco friendly packaging ) and Bronnley which does old fashioned English soaps .

Tmaxx soaps are 👍 great

TKMaxx usually have beautiful Florentine and Provencal soaps - huge bars which last ages. I love the citrus ones.

Bronnley lemon soap is absolutely divine.

Pears is my go to soap. It doesn't go mushy or crack.

Claus Porto is you've got mega wonga

Neste Dante for a very nice and more affordable option

TK Maxx for variety of Italian soaps at a great price

If you use any bar of soap every day it won't crack. I love bar soap and am so disappointed in the tiny selection in most shops. If I could bring back two products it would be the original Palmolive and Fairy soap bars that were the standards in my childhood.

And mine.

It's not even technically soap but I love Galinee cleansing bars, use it all over my body and face, really nice stuff.

I love body shop soaps! Leave hands really soft afterwards too

Okiki soaps are gorgeous. Not cheap but they last for a good while

I buy Lidls unscented soap 59p for 4 bars. It's the only one I have found that doesn't aggravate my various skin conditions (face/back acne and eczema on my legs!)

Friendly Soap is brilliant.

Ditto, but hands off the ones in the reduced section where the wrapping is a bit damaged, they are mine, all mine....

I like Palm Olive soap, the original one (green). It smells clean and fresh and doesn't leave my hands sore and rough.
