Grandpa's Brands Pine Tar Soap, 4.25 Ounce

Creosote smell.. I have NEVER got that from Pine Tar soap. The Creosote/tarman smell is more synonimose with Coal Tar Soaps i feel. Pine Tar is nuch more of a tobacco, cigar, bonfire smoke kind of odour (for myself), but in a great fresh way. This particular soap leaves your skin feeling (dare i say it for a bloke) moisturised.., bot dry or tight ib anyway like allot of soaps do. This soap lathers up well i have found tegardless of HARD water which soaps tend not to like. More importantly, when used you feel NOT ONLY CLEAN..., but disinfected too. You smell fresh but not overpoweringly so, avbit like coal tar soap and any carbolic soaps tend to do so. Ive found it to remove all daily acquired dirts and odours in my line of occupation and the cleanliness lasts all day too.

Thought I would try this as been having some dry/red skin on my face. Cleared it up in a couple of days. It is very expensive but its very nice soap, it doesn`t give your skin that "tight" feeling you get from some soaps but you feel really clean. I personally like the smokey sort of smell but its not for everyone.

I have been using Pine Tar Soap in general for a while. I also use another brand, made in Britain, which has usually worked out slightly cheaper than "Grandpa's". Both are very similar. My skin is quite sensitive and sometimes, depending on weather and work, can occasionally suffer the odd bout of things like eczema, infections, etc. This soap feels lovely on the skin. It cleans well enough to prevent and greasiness, spots and infections, but doesn't dry my skin. It is also mild enough to wash my hair in. For this use, I find the Grandpa's brand the best, although I wash my hair with the other brands of Pine Tar soap too, and so far I have found them all suitable for this. I use a shaving brush and traditional shaving soap, but when I've been short I've also used this to shave with and it did the job as well as my shave soap. When I used this on my hair, I get a lot more volume than with conventional shampoo. My scalp was never itchy either. As a result, I can heartily recommend this as an "all in one", although your mileage may vary and you might be better off with separate shampoo/soap/shaving soap. As with other Pine Tar Soaps I've tried, it soothed pretty-much any problem I had with my skin, and stopped its return. A nice side effect I also noticed with the other brands, is that I'm sure I get bitten less by insects when I have used this and spend time in the woods. I find the smell very nice, infact I absolutely love it, although some people might not like the smell of the actual bar itself. Like most brands of this type of soap, the smell can vary a bit between bars - sometimes it's more tarry and sometimes (most of the time for the "Grandpa's" brand), it smells more like a woodland camp-fire, which is simply heavenly. Fortunately it's not overpowering, so once you've used it people can't really smell it on you. Speaking of smell, a final side effect is that I noticed my arm pits were always still fresh at the end of a long hard day when I'd showered with this. Again, that's just this soap's effect on me, your mileage may vary - but all I can say is that it appears to be a fantastic cure-all for me...

From 37 weeks onwards in my pregnancy I developed a nasty case of PUPPS, it was red and itchy and I was clawing at my skin until it bled and could barely sleep at night. I tried many remedies including calamine lotion, oatmeal and aqueous cream, none of which worked and just seemed to irritate my skin even more. I searched through the internet and read many good reviews of how this soap made their rash clear up really quickly and decided to give it a go. The soap itself smells like a campfire and pine trees (and it really smelled up my bathroom) but it really did work miracles. After only 4 days of using the soap twice a day, the rash completely cleared up and I no longer felt itchy! I keep using it everyday to keep the rash away. It really is a 'wonder soap' and I strongly recommend it to anyone suffering from PUPPS, just wish I heard about it sooner!

Awesome for PUPPPS rash which i developed in third trimester. Really helps the itch, I lather it then leave it on for 5mins before washing off. Paired with dandelion root as a tea (drink once a day) it completely cleared it up within 3 days together.

It’s a decent soap alright, smells of pine tar but not that strong. I’d say it’s rather pricey for a bar of soap. I mean, it’s alright but it’s a bar of soap that costs nearly eight quid. Can get a good bar of carbolic soap for less than half the price

I do like it as it is devoid of all the synthetic grot that most soaps contain these days, including the ones producing a false fragrance to denote the illusion of cleanliness. This pine tar soap is not that different in what it does than the famous coal-tar soap that used to be on the market in it's original form ( that actual brand of soap no longer contains coal-tar these days ). Granpa's pine-tar soap gets the thumbs up from me as I can also use it as the first sequence in a shampooing regime where I lather it into my scalp, rinse, and then use a more conventional shampoo for the second wash of the sequence. I think it contains a lot of natural 'bacteria busting' goodness to maintain a healthy epidermis and I certainly feel cleaner after using it than I do with the usual soaps on the market. Some people have reservation about the aroma of this soap but I don't mind it at all as humans aren't supposed to smell like some sort of cheap potpourri. What this soap's fragrance actually tells me is that I AM clean. Cheap it is not but I don't use it every time I wash or shower, just when I need more thorough results. it gets 5 stars from me and I'll be stocking up on more of it too. Eamonn

Been using for a year now. Fantastic product. Has really helped my body acne with regular use and scrubbing. The smell is nice in it's own way, but the family complain i smell of Bacon after i use it. So i wouldn't recommend using this on it's own without covering up with more deodorant or another showering product if you have to be somewhere! Another thing I like, is that it actually leaves you feeling clean unlike most shower gels in the supermarkets. They tend to make my skin feel "slippery" and really sensitive to touch after i use them. The pine tar does not have this effect. It instead leaves your skin with that draggy feeling signifying cleanliness!!

No resuelve ningún problema relacionado con descamaciones pero parece un jabón fabricado con ingredientes naturales nada mas... En su mano está valorar el precio de este jabón.

I bought Grandpa's Pine Tar soap because I had read positive reviews and also George Bruno (a.k.a. The Sultan of Silver) whose opinion I trust recommended it on one of his beard related videos. From my experience, the soap has been fantastic on my beard. It truly cleanses and cleans my beard and my beard hair remains soft and has not become dry over the month or so of using the soap twice daily. It lathers well with a small amount applied on wet hands, and is easy to work through the beard hair as it becomes nice and slippery once a lather forms. This makes it easy to massage the skin under the beard, especially the chin and cheek areas. It rinses out very easily and my beard has a nice volume once dry. I've used it on my skin and head hair with success, and it makes hair squeaky clean. The bar seems to last quite well too. I also love the pine tar scent; it doesn’t linger at all for those who might be worried about the scent clashing with cologne etc. A great product in my opinion!

Good

É puro e forte, cheiro de fumaça de carne. Eu gostei , mas pode ser bem exótico e inusual para a maioria.

mit der Seife reinige ich meinen Bart. Der Duft ist ziemlich intensiv nach Pinie oder Kiefer und etwas teerig. Im Bad richt es etwas danach, aber ich mag es. Sie macht einen schönen weichen Schaum und vom Geruch bleibt eigentlich kaum was haften. Ich benutze es erstmal weiter anstelle von richtigem Bartshampoo. Probiert es mal aus.
