That's a mighty fine collection you have there. The only vintage soap in my den is missing from yours.....Tabac! By the way, what are the requirements for a soap to be considered vintage?

Thanks. I think everyone defines vintage differently. More me, generally it means that the soap is no longer made and has not been available retail for 5-6 years or longer.

What a beautiful collection!

You mustn have very creamy smooth BBS's.

Are you a professional weightlifter?

Thank you. They all produce wonderful lather, rich and thick and fragrant. Weight lifter? Not for many years. If you're referring to the suitcases, I just lift them from a bedside table shelf to the bed surface.
