Stephen King (inofficial)Concerning soap: Many people take the leftover sliver and smoosh it into a fresh bar. Several people put the old sliver in a nylon stocking and keep using it. NOBODY claims to have used a bar until it disappears.
Dave@stephenking that’s cause people who used bar soap til the end all died in the civil war #bathandbodyworks
comesfromfar@RexJurassic @stephenking Bar soap was invent in 1837, just 28 years prior. Most would wash with plain water, maybe scrub with mud or sand... maybe some tonic or oil to finish up if you were upper class. Mainly to get the gunpowder and blood off. Of course some men enjoyed the smell of war.
