Carbolic soap?

Do you use it? What do you use it for? Pros and cons?

My online business is "The General Merchandising Company Of Kentucky" and we are the mid west distributors of Island Pride Carbolic Germicidal Bath Soap. I remember carbolic soap from when I was a child and found an online source for it around 10 years ago. I prefer the fragrance over the perfumey smell of most bath soaps made today. I had a very difficult time finding it because it just isn't sold anymore in this country. That is when I decided to make carbolic bath soap easily available once again, so I started selling it on ebay then I designed my own website also. www.generalmerchandisingcompanyofky.com

Been using it everyday for showers and washing hands for the last 10+ years. Check out my website for more history and info on carbolic soap.

The cons might be that some people don't like the fragrance at first but they usually grow to love it like I do after awhile.

Its the old "Red Soap" we used in the hospitals years ago. Really kills the germs.
