Soap Acquisition Thread

I was born, raised, and lived in New Jersey for 40 years, moved to Florida 12 years ago this June. I am a sucker for all things NJ, I actually do miss the Garden State, so when I saw that this soap company was in New Jersey, and then where they are located I bought some samples. Loved the samples so bought 2 full sized and 3 more samples as well as Captains Choice Bay Rum and Barister and Mann Bay Rum samples.
Don't forget Hoffman's while you're supporting Jersey makers. :thumbup1:

I went and checked out my local antique shop this afternoon and to my surprise there was four cakes of vintage Colgate cup soap. I have tried the Vintage Colgate shave stick I look forward to trying a cake of this cup soap.
 
Something I have been chasing for a long time, a vintage Faberge Brut soap in the china bowl. I am thrilled.

Curious if you've set up your vintage soaps in some type of display case. Suspect you have one of the most extensive collections around. If so please post a photo.

Hi, thank you, I have been lucky with my purchases but there are others here with far more impressive collections. I do not have my stuff on display, I use almost everything I own. What I consider my best pieces are in my 'retirement drawer', I am 57 now so will start using these in a few short years; some of them I have never tried. For now I use vintage Yardley, Old Spice, Tabac, Imperial Leather, and others every day. In truth I have far too much so a few will go to the B&B auction this year 👍
