    Re: Shampoo and soaps

    We sometimes got that lemon soap, zest I think it was called and I'm pretty sure there was a similar sort of fresh-type soap out then too, but not lemony. Was it called Shield? My memory thinks it was light blue and a bit streaky. Nanna had a block of carbolic at the kitchen sink. I still love that smell.

      I had totally forgotten about Shield! It was blue and white in a streaky effect! Smelled very strong too. If I remember rightly Shield and Zest were marketed as 'deodorant' soaps. (whatever that means! lol)
      Pears and Palmolive soap were always popular in our house in the 70's. Sometimes we had Imperial Leather soap with the paper sicker on the bar!
      Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

        Does anyone have any memories of the shampoo sprays used for washing your hair in the sink or in a basin?

          camay, dove, palmolive. shield where the ones i most remember our lot using.

          i can also remember us using that lemon zest one i tend to like the stronger soaps.


          head and shoulders shampoo would have been by far the one we most used.
          there where others just cant think of them.

                Just bought some Palmolive shaving gel and it smells and feels really soothing when you lather it up!

                  Imperial Leather soap (still use it to this day).
                  Don't recall any specific shampoos although I do remember using washing up liquid when we'd run out of shampoo.

                    i still do that if push comes to shove! I always thought they were more or less the same thing but from experience the washing up liquid is a bit harsher on the hair. It still does the job in an emergency though.

                      on the odd occasion if we ran out of shampoo id use soap to wash my hair.
                      and to be fair it does a good job.
                      only thing is its hard to get a comb or brush through it.

                        What I'd like to know is, what date was Amami shampoo still available up to?
                        'Friday night is Amami night'.

                          Vosene had a vile smell, we used Three Wishes,Shield and Camay
                          I loved the smell of Vosene, I was stunned when i was shopping a few months back and found out that they changed the bottle

                            Who remembers body shop novelty soaps? For a time no Christmas went by without me getting a selection from an aunt. Shaped like fruit and very scented but a bit small to be practical. I used to keep them for ages just to smell them.

                                My sister once had a job lot of soaps of The Body Shop, they seemed to be adding fragrance to her room for a good few years.
