If you don't want to S&S then chemist warehouse has the same $2.99 deal https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/56518/cussons-imperi…
Wth is "S&S"!? The Urban Dictionary turns up some worrying definitions.
I see you’ve been here long enough but you finally have the courage to ask the question. Good on you! It is ‘subscribe and save’ (10% discount) but then you can cancel after the first order.
I usually buy everything from amazon with s&s if offered then once every few months will spend a couple of minutes canceling them all.Ah I see, thanks. Yeah I've wanted to buy a few things but they never came up at the same time to combine in one $59 order. So for example, I couldn't justify buying 20x 6 packs (120 bars or 1.5 years) of soap LOL.
@[Deactivated]: wait wait wait… 1.5 years?
1.5 years is 547.5 days
547.5 days / 120 bars = 1 bar every 4.56 daysAm I using soap wrong???
@The Hawk: I have it usually as a side dish for friday dinner. Cleans my insides very well, exactly as advertised.
But S&S can be immediately cancelled after purchasing the item(s).
oh you don't have to wait till first lot is sent?
i usually set it up for 6 months, and wait until i receive it, then cancel.
if you forget, you will at least have 6 months to remember to cancel it.
I like to live dangerously.
Do they still come with a sticker on top?
Yes!
Yep and it's easier to peel it off before using.
why would you peel it off? leave the sticker on, you have to show it off to your guest that you are rich.
The sticker is the main selling point. Gives 'em grip
@Horacio: exactly, whats wrong with these young kids now a days. everything is put on for a reason, and here they go just throwing everything away. sigh.
Still remember the commercials from when I was a kid in the 80s… haven't used this since then either. Who puts a sticker on soap… seriously. First thing I did was pick it off.
You did it wrong.
It makes the soap bar last longer.
It stops the soap being soggy (draining it) if you put it sticker down. You don’t need a soap dish on the shower soap holder
The sticker was foil when I was a kid, there was a magnetised accessory, that label would stick to, so the soap wouldn’t go soggy.
Thank you guys, I learnt something new in here. I'm about to run out of all the soap I collected from my consulting years in hotels so will need to buy soap for the first time in about 20 years. :-)
L'Occitane was my go to but willing to try something different now.
Isn’t this supposed to be imperial lather? Not leather?
Googled it and found an explanation under the origins section:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Leather
In 2004 Imperial Leather also sponsored a model cow called Imperial Heifer.[citation needed] The cow was on public display in Manchester
😂 🇦🇺🐄!
Grand dad soap lol
I like the scent!
Good for us old souls
Don't drop the soap…
Classic Grandpa fragrance
great deal, thanks op, bought 4, ahh takes me back to the 80's
Glad you found the deal useful :)
Saw a $5 promo Amazon credit underneath the price for adding a second card to the Amazon prime account. Got 3 packs x 6 bars for like $2.86.
I currently use this.
Is there any better soaps, you guys suggest?Dove Bar and goat milk soaps are good around $1.50~2.00 per bar. But this soap good enough quality for me. I don't buy shower gel or shampoo any more, just use soap. 6 bars will last longer than a year for me.
Rate them both. Tabac is my favourite.
better? maybe, but im paying less then $0.50 a bar, and those options you are giving are $10 - $12 for 1 bar.
so now i have to decide to buy 24 bars of imperial soap or 1 of your soaps?
i think the responsible choice would be to with imperial and have soap for 2 years vs buying 1 bar of soap that will last only a month.i dont think your soap is marginally better, but definitely not 2400 times better.
but thank you for sharing alternatives to solidify my purchase of imperial, i actual bought more
Pulled the trigger, thanks OP!
Its a pity they stopped stocking the powder at Woolworths and Coles…..
It was discontinued, if IGA still have stock they must have been hoarding tons of it.
I've always loved this scent. And I've always loved using soap instead of shower gels. However, cleaning the walls of soap scum became a far easier task when I switched to shower gels…. I reluctantly said goodbye to my soap habit. The con outweighed the pros.
i actually use both. gel for the body, and bar of soap for my arm pits, nutz, weener, buttocks, and feet. nothing cleans better then a bar of soap, nothing. when i use gel in those areas, it doesn't feel clean, and feel dirty after a few hours, while the bar of soap i feel clean all day long.
I'm a big fan of Imperial Leather and posted this same deal last time around - but at my wife's insistence we have recently changed over to shower gel too…
Surely time for wife switch instead of soap switch?
Changing the soap is much cheaper
Good price, nothing cleans better than leather mashed into a soap bar.
Sold out?

If it matters to you, most soaps are produced with palm oil. Palm oil is very effective compared to other oil crops but it has issues of poorer countries exploiting their land, clearing forests and biodiversity to grow palm plantations.
There is a global non profit to certify Palm oil sources as sustainable called the RSPO https://rspo.org/who-we-are/.
I don't claim they are perfect or effective across the whole of the organisations lifetime but I see nothing that would suggest, this org isn't a step in the right direction in giving consumers an informed choice and if you have problems with enforcement than that's something to be fought for.PZ Cussons has no or next to no endorsement that their soap product is using sustainable palm oil or what percentage of palm oil used is certified sustainable and doesn't use the RSPO proprietary logo on their products , citing lack of label space and also "High costs in achieving or adhering to certification" I wouldn't deny, having a certification bodies usually means costs to get certification that larger companies can bear more easily but I'll leave it to you to make a judgement, I can't. It seems their last report to RSPO was on 2022 and they have declared 0% of their palm oil sources are RSPO certified
PZ Cussons is probably one of the cheapest soaps you can get on the Australian market. When I go on their website, I can't find any recent documentation on their palm oil sourcing that isn't a dead link. Doesn't look like they're very serious about it.
Source: https://document.rspo.org/2022/PZ_Cussons_Plc_ACOP2022.pdf
Alternatives:
If you don't have time to research yourself, what I've found is, you'll usually pay some amount of premium for soaps made in australia, even more of a premium for palm oil free soap. Body wash will always have plastic bottle packaging and its main components are petroleum based as opposed to palm oil for soap. Some companies have that CPSO stamp to indicate their use of sustainable sources but some have the "Mixed" stamp which is some percentage of palm oil sourcing is uncertified. Very few companies use paper packaging. Cheapest I've found is Coles Simply Bath Soaps With Aloe Vera 800g at $4.50 for $0.56/100g. Packaging only says "Contributes to production of sustainable palm oil" According to Coles 2022 https://document.rspo.org/2022/Coles_Supermarkets_Pty_Ltd_AC… , their food products that have palm oil 100% RSPO certified but they predict 2025 to be when their non food coles brand products to be 100% certified.Right now, Coles only have a percentage of RSPO certified sources for non food and the other side is "Book & Claim" sourced which is a system where u pay a premium to sustainable producers but the actual oil product you receive can be from anywhere local. (the idea being for e.g. u pay a windfarm company money when u buy electricity, but ur electricity at your power outlet is still from the grid where there's no way to just ask "just power me only with windfarm electricity, its likely the grid will still have electricity from coal fired plants"
Awesome. Thanks
Thank you, I don't think I'll buy any more if this soap but will finish what I already have.
Does the scent of this soap lasts long when used as a body wash? I'm currently using a palmolive men's soap and the scent lasts like 10 mins post shower :(
