To think a lot of people are fooled by this brand

[Doubtfuldaphne]

They've Just stuck two names together and do some minimal looking packaging to fool people.
The quality isn't good and still people think it's posh. It's not!
It's in most supermarkets.
Who can guess which brand I'm talking about?

That's fair enough niceperson

I doubt anyone's laughing at someone buying it for their own bathroom.

Just don't be gift wrapping that shit and pretending it's a special treat. May as well buy someone a bottle of Tresemme.

I actually quite like B&H

I love Carex. And Sanex.

Btw in answer to the OP I was going to say Charlie Brigham!

Well I like both B&H and Molton Brown. B&H handwash goes in the downstairs loo and by the kitchen sink, and my MB stash stays in my bathroom.

Lidl 59p handwash is the dogs bolleux. Nice colour, nice smell, good lather and its a large bottle
B and H is like frog spawn

Never thought people could be so snobby about soap... Are we all 1950s housewives?!

I like my B&H handwash... Inexpensive but prettier bottle and nicer smells than boring unbranded stuff. Are guests coming to my house and secretly thinking 'Bayliss and Harding handwash?! How vile! I wonder if she realises this is a cheap knockoff of Molton Brown! And I thought Mamushka was a classy lass...'

People who buy and like Bayliss & Harding wouldnt dream of buying Molton Brown, possibly have never heard of it

there was a time in my life when I could afford Molton Brown and I bought Molton Brown. That time isn't now - and I quite happily buy much cheaper stuff - including Bayliss and Harding - because that's what I can now afford. Hell, for a while I did the Moneysavingexpert value bubble bath watered down in a soap dispenser which also worked perfectly well.

If I'm somehow ignorant (isn't that what you're saying?) because I 'wouldn't dream of buying Molton Brown', then what does that make you?

I have Molton Brown in the bathroom. It smells nice, that's all. I'm half tempted to decant it into a plain bottle now but I can't get the top off

B and H is a complete rip off. Mum got me a double box worth tied with a bow for Xmas- the top box was just a wash puff and the bottom box had a slab of polystyrene wrapped in tissue paper, two bottles of soap, a small scrub and a small hand cream. Rubbish!

I started buying bayliss and harding about 8 ye ars ago - I'm sure there's an old thread where B&h comes up as a good cheapie. It's fine for everyday use,, probably not for gifts

B&H. 'Posh'

Yes, receiving it in a gift set is a bit
I hope I don't get bought some, I'd feel so awful for the person giving it to me. Mumsnet has ruined Thorntons as a gift for me too, although the revolting taste of the chocolate kind of did already ruin it.
My dp's elderly grandmother gave us a big box for Christmas, she still thinks they're nice chocolates and it made me a bit sad

I'm with SaucyJack. I'm not a soap snob and wouldn't judge someone got buying Carex (I buy Carex!) but if you give me B&H for Christmas I'm going to be a bit disappointed. And I have been given B&H for Christmas

I received a bottle of B&H which was wearing a gold sequinned zip up jacket.
Molton Brown wouldn't be so frivolous.

Superdrug often have BOGOF on handsoaps/deoderants etc. I pick up a couple here and there when they are on offer. I use the savings to pay for Molton Brown.

It doesnt matter to me that B&H is a knock off MB, but it does matter to me if I buy something that turns out to be crap inside the bottle. Aldis knock off handwash, is it a knock off of a knock off? Its amazing! The stuff inside the bottle is great. Smells great, washes great. That is what matters.

B&H is crap because theyve spent all their time on the packaging and none on the ingredients. Its not snobby to want a handwash or shower gel that actually makes you feel clean regardless of whether is costs 68p or £18.

Don't know about B&H but have seen it in shops. I'm currently going through the complimentary toiletries DH nicked from when he was away at a hotel for ages for work. Teeny tiny, practically ineffectual micro soap but I swear they're like rabbits and are multiplying in the cupboard - every time I check there seems to be even more!

I'm not fussy about naice soap anymore, especially since the DC turned up, they seem to 'know' which is the better stuff and it never lasts five minutes - lots of suspiciously long toilet visits, god knows what they do with it down the loo washed the cat/bath toys/hair with it

Ffs its hand soap who gives a crap if its molton or hardling cos who wants to smell like hand soap, next your be telling me you put lavender talc on your bits.

Carex strawberry laces in this house or whatever is on offer. I invest far too much in my perfumes for nice smell

Never heard of it, we're fans of Jo Malone hand wash here. It actually lasts a long time and the scent stays on your skin forever.

You can melt the soaps into one to make them easier to use

My inlaws have fallen for this. They are total cheapskates.

Carex is fine, because you aren't "trying".

I preferred my inlaws when they didn't "try". Why do people feel they have to "try"!

Give me a wrinky, jellied old bit of Imperial leather with a big bulgey bit round the sticker any time

Jo Malone handwash is nearly £30 a bottle. I'd be delighted to receive some as a gift but would never splash my own cash on it. It's just soap.

You've actually agreed with what I was trying to say. I wasnt implying anyone buying B&H was ignorant fedup. Im saying that the majority of people who buy B&H wont know or care that its supposedly designed to look like Molton Brown. They dont buy it because it 'looks posh'. The people I know anyway. I bought the OH a black pepper B&H set for crimble as we both like the scent and i wasnt about to pay triple the price for a bloke who doesnt care what name his shower gel is.

I used to spend silly money on Philosophy shower gel but I cant justify it anymore. So I dont. I buy a litre bottle of Dr Bronners castille soap for a tenner because it lasts me nearly 6 months!
