    Default Wrisleys would you use it?

    I picked up this Wrisleys Lavender soap at an Antique store. No clue on how old it is but it is brand new, opened but the soap never touched. Would you use it? Anyone have any idea how old it is? The container doesnt look exactly the same as others I have seen (mainly the center label)?

    Use it. Vintage soaps can be awesome. Especially if the scent is still there.

    It's soap, so by its very nature it's self cleaning.

    Interesting.... never heard of it. I agree, give it a go - but you might want to scrape a layer off the top just to be on the safe side.

    I found some Yardley soap in an Antique store the same way. It was in plastic so probably not that old, relatively speaking. I used it and it was gooooood. It was either that, try and sell it for profit (cost me $1.50), or let it clutter up my space needlessly. Easy choice I decided.

    HDguy,
    I am not acquainted with this soap. I think it's worth using. Scrape off the top layer, or give it a good rinsing with your hands to remove the top layer, and then shave away. Tell us how it performs.
