I think Solvay has some connection to this, but don't know for sure.<br />In medieval times we had public baths - they used soap. The Romans did too. <br />Only when Pest / cholera and syphilis came to Europe the public baths were closed / fell out of fashion. Also the use of water and soap in general. The medical theory of the early modern period held that water and soap would open up the body for those germs causing the pestilence. So better "close" the body, for example by using a lot of powder. The smelly times were the late 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.<br />But Louis XIV. had it for luxury soap - I'm sure he smelled like a violet ...<br />I do not know exactly how soap is made, but I think it was mostly ashes from wood, or "Pottasche", or Kali cooked with something fatty, be it from an animal or a plant. The job of the <i>Seifensieder</i> was not the best, pretty smelly, and it involved the handling of animal carcasses.<br /><br />Now and then I have handmade luxury soap, rarely bathing salts, <i>ach</i> ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-56545662599121344122017-01-26T22:03:09.256-05:002017-01-26T22:03:09.256-05:00i cannot even imagine.i cannot even imagine.normadesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325110017442011627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-76107658300759800902017-01-26T21:51:00.237-05:002017-01-26T21:51:00.237-05:00NORMA: The real deal-breaker is that Dan’s bookshe...NORMA: The real deal-breaker is that Dan’s <a href="http://tinyurl.com/zrn82er/" rel="nofollow">bookshelves</a> are untidy.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-62536667186248979812017-01-26T21:42:37.197-05:002017-01-26T21:42:37.197-05:00i might be open to the top bloke smelly a tad game...i might be open to the top bloke smelly a tad gamey, but mr. whitlock would need to smell like a fucking field of flowers for me to even turn my head.normadesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325110017442011627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-18115388381196009712017-01-26T21:34:31.267-05:002017-01-26T21:34:31.267-05:00MITZI: Pits and undercarriage… in other words, a “...MITZI: Pits and undercarriage… in other words, a “whore’s bath.”The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-3276655148293982772017-01-26T21:34:16.781-05:002017-01-26T21:34:16.781-05:00Z: Perhaps you’d like to join Mago?Z: Perhaps you’d like to join Mago?The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-91182366230700995452017-01-26T21:34:00.059-05:002017-01-26T21:34:00.059-05:00JON: Ah, g’won.JON: Ah, g’won.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-22916617990232261872017-01-26T21:33:39.053-05:002017-01-26T21:33:39.053-05:00MAGO: Most people, except very rich people, didn’t...MAGO: Most people, except very rich people, didn’t use soap until about the second half of the 19th century. <br /><br />In large families, everyone used to bathe in a big zinc laundry tub. You had to bathe in the bath water of the previous family member. The soap was a mixture of lye and lard. <br /><br />I feel dirty just thinking about it.<br />The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-518219202513012862017-01-26T21:33:03.312-05:002017-01-26T21:33:03.312-05:00MISS SCARLET: Aiden Turner without his towel?MISS SCARLET: Aiden Turner without his towel?The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-86741841699972823492017-01-26T21:32:22.006-05:002017-01-26T21:32:22.006-05:00MR.

I take a shower at night too but if I really can't be arsed with a night time shower then a brief yet fulsome wash of my pits and undercarriage at the sink with a hot flannel and I like a bath on Sunday night.Mitzi https://www.blogger.com/profile/01416789788174823493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-348040518950207482017-01-26T16:59:48.443-05:002017-01-26T16:59:48.443-05:00Rarely.

I mean, Astro~, Cosmo~ & Taiko~Nauts are huamns in a can without the possibility to wash themselves. So his "Mother Dirt" [!] "rethinking "clean"" may be on Mars soon. Or at least on that moon village the Chinese will built next year.<br />One can only hope that Whitlock's bacteria will not mutate ... Perhaps this was alraedy the plot of a SciFi-novel ? IDV may know.<br /><br />Personally I prefer a hot bath, either in the late morning or in the early evening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-38684362875328804432017-01-26T16:01:53.632-05:002017-01-26T16:01:53.632-05:00I have a white "loofah/body mop/nylon netting...I have a white "loofah/body mop/nylon netting shower pom pom on a string thingamy” now, but I miss Pinky...Inexplicable DeVicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187364843729214996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-74521456819844963512017-01-26T13:34:38.982-05:002017-01-26T13:34:38.982-05:00Every morning without fail.... it's the only w...Every morning without fail.... it's the only way to wake up, plus I'm always hopeful about who I might find in my shower cubicle.<br />SxMs Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449626572478125088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-50443806179885391542017-01-26T12:11:58.939-05:002017-01-26T12:11:58.939-05:00DAMIEN: Have a cold shower and get back to us.DAMIEN: Have a cold shower and get back to us.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-54816996159819861232017-01-26T12:11:43.650-05:002017-01-26T12:11:43.650-05:00LX: I hope your cats’ predilection for fresh fauce...LX: I hope your cats’ predilection for fresh faucet water doesn’t extend to the shower stall.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-1446611344687397382017-01-26T12:11:23.532-05:002017-01-26T12:11:23.532-05:00EROS: There’s no washing away the filth you pick u...EROS: There’s no washing away the filth you pick up here on Infomaniac!The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-49755163656185543492017-01-26T12:10:45.136-05:002017-01-26T12:10:45.136-05:00MR.
