People in many European countries like to make their soaps, and the UK is a classic. The British often say, "The French love perfume, we love soap."
Not only do they love to wash their hands with soap, but they also like to use it as a flavoring agent to freshen the air.
Many families also make their own soap to use, but this is not to save a few pounds so simple.
In London's Regent Street, Edinburgh's George Street, and these famous commercial streets, there are a variety of household name stores, some of which do not need to see the name of the store, just by smell can be found.
For example, the British are familiar with a chain of "LUSH" soap stores, which are packed with people all year round.
Hundreds of handmade soaps are displayed in the store, and because of the scent of various fruits and desserts, people who don't know it may think that they have entered a food store.
Soap store soap in many styles, chocolate-like, candy-like, fruit-like, some say, as long as you have seen, and eaten, you can find the corresponding "soap version".
Because some are too realistic, the business had to be in a conspicuous place posted on the "inedible" sign.
In soap stores most of the soap is handmade, and some of the selling method is also very interesting, buy now cut, and then price by weight.
In the handmade soap store, a soap is about seven or eight pounds, but in the supermarket, an ordinary industrially produced hand soap is only 1/10 of the price.
Not only do the British like to buy handmade soap, they also like to make their own.
This is not only to save money, but also hope to be able to match their favorite soap flavor, but also a traditional way for British families to remember the past.
These years the British handmade soap market has been quite red-hot, London's handmade soap stores have had no shortage of customers.
Every Sunday, many British people will also take out their homemade soap in the "Weekend Neighborhood Sale" set out to sell.
Many of the customers here live in the neighborhood, so although it is a sale, very often we will also half-sell half-give away, and even take the handmade soap in exchange for each other's old record, bartering.
