One of the soaps that Costco carried in 2003, a a French-Milled soap (triple
milled), I opened, used and loved it right away.

I've not seen it since, but for some reason I bought a bundle of it, and I
still have about 12 bars stashed away, still using it everyday.

Then a little later they started same brand, larger bar, stronger scent, but
DH liked it; and he is still using it, too.
To keep the house from smelling like soap, I keep it in one of those grain
buckets with the ever-so-tight lids on it.
