Tar Soap. (It was orange and my gran used it)

Probably Wrights Coal Tar Soap. That was the de facto standard for ages, going back to Victorian times.

I use Dove. It works and I know I'm not allergic to it. I'm a delicate princess when it comes to stuff on my skin, so I strongly tend to stick to the same stuff. My allergies won't kill me, but it's not fun to have my skin swell up, crack and fall off so I try to avoid that. So Dove soap for hand-washing and Sanex shower gel.
 
anything for washing hands .
shower : Oliver .. just have to make sure you don't drop it on your foot (can see why cons put them in socks.) - none of this genZ shower gel.

Same. When you peel off the sticker there's a perfect little square to suction the sliver of the old one on to and let the soap weld together.

I don't like Imperial Leather as it makes my skin dry. I also didn't like it because of the stupid bit of paper - you're meant to peel it off?! Many a time i remember when i did use it all that would be left would be that stupid square sized bit of paper.

IL also seems to drag/stick to your skin when washing. Dove and only Dove for me - just feels and smells nice.

I use a brand called Faith in Nature which I found on amazon as an alternative the the more expensive brands like Dr Squatch.
 
Weirdly I bought a pack of Dettol soap for the first time yesterday as I wanted a decent anti bacterial soap and I quite like it. It's a bit like washing with a citronella candle but it feels like it gives a good cleanse.

I always find dove leaves too much of a greasiness behind. I like a soap that really stripes all of the oil from my skin.
