Yeah, like I said, modern soap. You can't buy the good stuff at all.

Where do you shop that doesn't sell plain old soap bars?

Need me to mail some for you?

Obviously, plain old soap bars will not suffice to make a bath last for weeks or months. As I said pretty clearly, and you must have read, you cannot buy the good stuff.

You’re gonna need a lot more evidence than “it was explained to me”…

It’s trivially easy to find ancient soap recipes and revert them at hope. Or one can buy Aleppo soap, or Castilian soap from specialty markets.

It’s not like there’s some lost secret, or extinct ingredients - it’s soap, and it’s been a pretty simple thing to make for thousands of years.

Stuff's pretty good that I buy. And I bathe very infrequently.
