Re: No longer can find Camay soap bars at Longs!

gee...everyone has their favorites...I was raised on Colgate toothpaste...my wife, on Crest...lol!

we have two separate toothpaste tubes in our drawers!

And to that other guy, yes I use Boston contact lens cleaner and solution ALL the time...especially since Costco sells it cheaper.

Re: No longer can find Camay soap bars at Longs!

This is somewhat on topic because it involves soap...but not Camay specifically!

Anyway, I read somewhere...or heard somewhere...that bar type soaps are responsible for that icky layer of dried on soap scum that builds up on tub and shower walls; that liquid soaps don't do that. Makes sense as liquid soaps are, well, liquid!

I switched to liquid soaps entirely. Sure 'nuff...no soap scum, ever. Tub and/or shower cleaning is a breeze now.

My liquid (soft) soap choices:
face - Cetaphil
body - anything on sale or whatever shampoo I'm using

You use shampoo for your body?

Just an FYI; from drugstore.com's web site...free shipping is good for:

Unfortunately free shipping doesn't apply to Hawaii. I use to order from drugstore.com 'til I got a notice from them earlier this year (iirc) that they restructured shipping rates to Hawaii. Those rates are now way more than they were before.

Good to know! You guys don't even get the free shipping on $49? How bad are the rates for Hawai'i? I LOVE Drugstore.com as I find some of my most beloved and extremely difficult to find products there.

Works great for shaving cream as well if you are out!

Sure! Why not? When I rinse it out of my hair it runs down my body anyway. (ok you guys, stop thinking all those lustful thoughts! On 2nd thought, go ahead and think 'em!)

A $3.29, 3 pack of Camay costs $9.99 to ship, standard rate. However, when I entered enough to push the order over $49., the web site shows free shipping.

I used to use this eons ago while in school. Haven't seen it in a long time! And it did make my hair smell terrific!

Hey Sis, me too. I use shampoo or liquid soap. Must be genetic

Seriously though, that same soap scum that builds up on the tub also stays on the body. I haven't used bar soap in years.

Call different Long's.

Good advice. Every Longs store decides for itself what it's going to carry.

Well, Corporate Longs Drugs in Cali wrote back to say that they don't have any idea if Camay is still being manufactured or not (what a lame response!).

This makes sense to me. Since each store's management decides what it's going to stock, corporate wouldn't know a thing about this. To call it a lame response is unfair.

Other brands that I am fiercely loyal to: shaving cream, Barbasol

Honoruru, I hate to break this to you, but somebody has to: Barbasol sucks. It exists for one reason: high-school camps and sleepovers. Stop shaving with that stuff, please! Have you even tried any of the products that actually try to lessen shaving's impact on your poor face?

can you make do with another soap hawaiiguy? i mean seriously! is it that serious?

How serious does a topic have to be on HT? Hawaiiguy didn't say this had global implications; he only expressed dismay over the apparent disappearance of a favorite brand. The helpful suggestions that followed indicate that others thought it was a worthwhile topic. If you disagree, just skip this thread and move on to the next.

body - anything on sale, or whatever shampoo I'm using

You use shampoo for your body?

This isn't at all puzzling. I've spent some time reading websites devoted to soapmaking, and the more I read, the more convinced I am that there is no essential difference between shampoo and bar soap. I stick to my favorite Irish Spring for most of my body only because I have really long hair and the shampoo I prefer is rather expensive, but I do wash my face and the rest of my head with the shampoo I'm lathering into my hair. We have a shower at work, and for those times when I need to avail myself of that facility, I just keep a bottle of shampoo in my desk drawer. It does the job for all my two thousand parts.

Hawaiiguy, let us know if you find what you're looking for; else I'll keep an eye out on your behalf!
