DH and I disagree about Soap 😳

DH has put a fresh bar of soap out today, his trusty Imperial Leather. He thinks it’s a classy soap based on his childhood perspective in the late 1970s. I think it’s one step up from carbolic. I want Jo Malone soap 😢

AIBU - imperial leather is pure luxury
AINBU - what next, waxy toilet paper?

We both have our own soap 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why can't you have both?

Husband loves IL but we won't buy it as the cat goes mad licking the bath after his shower. Doesn't happen with any other soap.

It’s not a ginger cat by any chance, is it?! 😂
*we have one, it’s bonkers

Yeah. It was for nice smell. We had them in every sock drawer etc. Like ever lasting airfreshener and when they stopped smelling they went by the sink for the original purpose.

This is fab! I’m going to treat my wardrobe and drawers to some nice soap. Thanks! ☺️

No it isn't. It's now vegan and made with palm oil.

It's changed since we bought it last, a couple of years back, then.

Edit: recent reviews are not good!

Your husband should know that the properly classy 1970s soap was Camay, not Imperial Leather. I used to love those ads with the ladies all covered in foam!

When I was growing up, DF used Imperial Leather and DM and myself used Camay. Nowadays I have both Shield for in the shower, and Wright's Coal Tar by the basin, or sometimes a lovely vegan soap if somebody treats me. Not sure why I actually have both lol.

Shield every time. Don't feel clean unless I've scrubbed myself with shield

Love the smell of Imperial Leather. Reminds me of staying at my Auntie’s house when I was young. Happy memories.

Jo Malone is too highly scented for me , but I do like L’Occitane 😄 ( imperial leather is what my gran had in the bathroom , I don’t like it much )
