Ugh, in the wars of history if you were retreating from the front lines there was at least some hope that unless you got really unlucky you might improve your chances of survival.

If you’re in the UK/Europe I’d recommend Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap. It’s another one containing lanolin like Dove but I find it nicer on my skin. Might be able to get their stuff in the US too - you can definitely buy their shaving soap there.

When’s Countdown on?
