Imperial Leather

Soap is obviously the most environmentally friendly thing to use to keep your body clean. It does not come in a plastic bottle, it is not mostly water, & has no detergents to strip your skin of natural oils; it can be recycled in the home until nothing is left to dispose of in any way. Its value has even been recognised by computer literate as a Simple Object Access Protocol

Imperial Leather is the emperor & empress of soap.

It is nicely hard & solid – will not melt into a gooey grey mess in the bottom of the soap dish. It is pleasantly but lightly, unisexly perfumed – will not fight with any other scent you choose to wear.

So why doesn’t everybody use it?

And why, in particular, have they stopped demanding anything bigger than the 125g bar? Or at least I have not been able to find the 200g family size bar since before Christmas.
