Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap?
Anyone else use this stuff? I've been using it since the early 90's when Rivendell was first formed and was strictly mail order. It may be only soap, but its the greatest!

I love grandpas pine tar soap but Kirks coconut oil and castile soap is just as good and costs much less. I can buy it for 89 cents a bar at the grocery store.

It leaves you smelling clean and leaves no residue .Soaps made from animal fat leave residue.If you see sodium tallowate on the ingredients list it uses animal fat.

I recommend that people give it a try, if not just for fun.

Just ride.
I love it, but only buy it once in a while. Kinda pricey, and hard to find (locally). Many years ago I use to be able to find it under the "Packers" brand at most pharmacys.
