CorkyskogRemember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such?
Sam_BassThere is a bar soap currently for sale that does that
Well, ain’t that old fashioned - bar soap! I can remember my Mother and Grandmother making soap every fall at home. Stuff could take the hide right off you some years, but you got clean for sure. It also made a fine laundry soap too. I can remember watching my Mother shave slivers of it off into the washing machine when I was little.
But thanks for reminding me, I need to put bar soap on my shopping list. I need to also order another puck of shaving soap too.
Sounds like you need to make some soap this fall.
I have made some soap when my Daughters were younger and still at home. Mostly so they could learn about what “the old days” were like when Dad and Mom were their age. Soap making is kind of expensive to do these days. A lot cheaper and easier to just buy a bar of soap from the store. But they had fun learning.
We taught our Daughters a lot of things that aren’t commonly done these days. But were things we did everyday to have a normal life. Everything from gardening and canning to sewing to soap making to how to raise and kill and butcher an animal.
