I have always had an affinity for this type of soap since I was a kid, but it disappeared decades ago and the memories faded. Cut to about ten years ago when I saw that http://www.jupitersoaps.co.uk/ was selling/exporting it and I bought half a case. The smell certainly took me back to my youth as I remember it was my father's favorite soap as I recalled the red bars stacked near the basement shower for the men of the house. Alas, the EU regulations stripped the current production of its goodness and I was forced to buy Third World carbolic soap from the Caribbean which was actually damn good and maybe even better, e.g., Seprod and Blue Power. I cannot seem to find Seprod anymore as it is not exported it appears.
Cut to today and I see that http://www.jupitersoaps.co.uk/ is now making/selling their own brand called Redbuoy which appears to be real deal: http://www.jupitersoaps.co.uk/redbuoy.htm
Cheap it ain't, but for some of us it may serve as a form of time machine to a simpler era. I surely cannot be the only one here who remembers this wonderful soap and its incomparable smell and general feeling of being thoroughly & utterly clean.
