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!

@Borrasca

Nesti Dante here too - never mushy, always smell divine and the bars are huge!
Mind you with the really big ones I find I have to cut them in half , too afraid of dropping them on my toes .

Love these recommendations! Try also Soaps for Little Suds https://soapsforlittlesuds.co.uk/ lovely soaps and other bath stuff (hot tip, go for the mystery boxes which are amazing value). Think I need to explore TKMaxx Grin

@Sexnotgender

Get yourself something that’s triple milled. I buy from tk maxx.
Triple milled, how does that stop the mush? 🤔😊

Nuddy soap is a favourite of ours, lovely, long lasting fragrances, triple milled, kind to skin (use on eczema prone toddler) and lasts for ages!

Does anyone remember Cleopatra soap from i think the 80s? Navy and gold label I absolutely adored the smell of it, ooh I wonder if I can still get it anywhere.

According to the internet triple milling gives a harder soap which makes it last longer and gives a creamy lather .

dunkery · 20/10/2021 23:15

Yardley soap is lovely, really good lather. The lavender and the lemon ones are my favourite.
They sell it in the original factory shop for £1 a bar.

I didn't know that. I will try and remember that.

This soap us gorgeous and creamy and smells delicious and lasts ages!

AgnesPerdita · 21/10/2021 08:22

Shield is our go to soap here. It just smells fresh and clean!

I will occasionally deviate and go to dove or palm olive but I always go back to this one!

Simonjt · 21/10/2021 08:26

We use Suma soaps, the round translucent ones, the rose and geranium one is lovely, no cracking, no going mushy.

pandora206 · 21/10/2021 08:31

Another Nests Dante fan here. The packaging is lovely too. I have a small basket of them in my downstairs cloakroom which smelis divine.

ChrisPriss · 21/10/2021 08:35

Body Shop bar soap is fabulous

CounsellorTroi · 21/10/2021 08:37

Waitrose do some lovely glycerin soaps, some nice fragrances or an unfragranced one.

As a real treat I love L’Occitane Shea Butter soap.

NearLifeExperience · 21/10/2021 08:39

Another fan of Pears here... no mush!
I like the blue one because it's pretty, but the original is fine, too x

Sorry for the kiss!

Wbeezer · 21/10/2021 08:50

I actually sit my bar soap on one of those flat pan silicon pan scrubbers with the soft rubber "bristles" i find that works better than a soap dish for circulating air round the bar and keeping it dry.

Wbeezer · 21/10/2021 08:51

I buy soap in TKMaxx too

MWNA · 21/10/2021 08:52

Always Shield. Smells so wonderful.
