Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It was much less than 100 years ago that the major brands of bar soap that were marketed around the country were made out of vegetable oil -- think, for instance, the original Palmolive -- and Kirk's Castile must have had its place among those lathering luminaries.
I'm not a soap historian so I don't know exactly when or why the manufacturers switched to using tallow for their formulations (maybe it was cheaper to obtain?, maybe easier to work with?) but in any case they all attempted to outdo each other by advertising those bars of tallow soap with various gimmicks using newfangled technology. There was deodorant soap, 'beauty' soap, 'mild' soap for your babies, and so forth. In the process, their original products were all superseded.
Nevertheless, when I first became aware of Kirk's Castile Soap (mid 1970s) it was still a brand of Proctor and Gamble and could still be found in supermarkets in some places, where it was the largest (in size) bar on the shelves, and also the least expensive. P & G did not, however, advertise it or try to market it aggressively in any way.
Today none of the facts in the above paragraph may still be the case, but what remains true is that this soap produces the greatest lather of anything you've ever used, and washes both your body and your hair very effectively (yet gently).
That, kids, is your brief soap lecture for today. Remember to wash behind your ears, rinse your hair until it squeaks, and use vegetable oil soap so you can go about your business without your pores being clogged by greasy renderings from cattle, and so that you may carry the vague fragrance of the tropics with you instead of the unsubtle scents synthesized from petroleum.
