I’ve let go of liquid soaps in the last few years and opted to used classic solid soaps for my hygiene but between trendy scents or seasonal supply I haven’t been able to find a soap I can stay with.

This led me to consider making my own soap but is it worth it?

Artisanal soaps are expensive and hard to find in my country and mostly pass the notion they are targetting luxury customers and not making something for everyone to use and enjoy and trying to make an effort to create change.

I am aware initial costs have to be considered and that there is a learning to it.

    My parents used to buy Imperial Leather when I was a kid, I used shower gels for a while, but eventually came back to it. It cheap, lathers well, cleans well, isn’t overly perfumed. I struggle to believe you could make an equivalent soap at home for the same price assuming you value your time. (you could buy it in both the UK and Australia so I assume it’s everywhere)

      I had never heard of Imperial Leather until this day and I am sad for it. Seems to have an unusual scent when compared with the usual herbs/flowers/vegetable byproducts my country usually favours.
