I learn something new everyday, but this one took me by surprise. I saw a soap dish on the bay. It had written on it, Hershey's Shaving Soap. Boing went the springs--huhwha?? I don't even remember this from my childhood. So off to Google and found this link. Fascinating story. Yes I've even been to Hershey and no where is it mentioned. Street lamps are shaped like Hershey's Kisses and the main street is called, Hershey Highway. But enough here's the link:
Hershey's Shave Soap
Just check their web site. They still make the body soap. Read a good review of it over there on that other forum.

Just check their web site. They still make the body soap. Read a good review of it over there on that other forum. I missed this post. Wow!! Hershey's chocolate shaving soap - I'm in! What a great story. Using cocoa butter to make soap would have solved Mr Hershey's leftover/scrap cocoa butter problem. A great try. A good read coolbus, thnx. It would be wonderful to trip over one of these one day and give it a whirl. Mind you, I had a Gillette stick soap from a post WW1 traveler set a few years ago. It was still in the soap tube likely from purchase. About half used. The foil was interacting badly with the brass so I quickly decided to use it! Yikes. Stank so bad...... I never forgot that smell. So sometimes, it can be a bust. But still - chocolate!
