Many years ago, when UKRM was but a nipper, I remember a long discourse
on this subject. The turning point for me was when Bear, formerly of
this parish, told me to get up to date with modern male cosmetics (or
some such).

As a result, I have used Karma Komba solid shampoo and American Cream
conditioner ever since. In recent years these have only been available
online but it seems that the Karma Komba is no longer available.

So, my question is this: For those others (if any?) that have gone a
similar route, what is the motorcycling gentleman's current shampoo of
choice? :-)

If I cared, and had any depth of pile, it would be Vosene.

I used to know Nivea (Green) after whom the products were named. She
only died this year, in her hundred and somethings.

To validate assumptions about yanks, I hereby offer this example:
"Pantene
Advanced care
5 in 1
shampoo"
from Costco, AIR.

One of:

- bar of soap
- inexpensive shower gel
- T's hair care stuff made out of unicorn tears and priced accordingly

Depends what's nearest to hand. Results are similar.

As Billy Connolly pointed out, the most luscious hair on your body are
your pubes and they just get a rub with a bar of soap.

It generally used to be the Lush "green" one in a round tin.
However we both moved on to just using Dove soap (solid bar).
Available in every country we have visited, even Mongolia.

That's it! - The 'Green One' - for which there doesn't seem to be a
'near replacement' that I am aware of.
At least nothing in a price range that seems justifiable against the
other things that have been suggested.

Thanks for all the other responses btw

I use a shampoo bar too, tho not sure if it's that one.

It's so much better than mucking about with a plastic bottle!

Got some still, but nothing on it to say what it is.
One of the reasons we used that was that it could also be used to wash
clothes.

Best bet is to go to a Lush and ask them?
Or switch to Dove :-)

then we can search it for clues - unless you were thinking it was Bear?

Yes, exactly why I've stuck with Lush for so long.
At least this thread has made me aware that 'other bars are available'

Whatever shower gel's kicking around - hopefully Original Source
coconut & shea butter as it smells bloody lovely. Hopefully NOT the
green Original Source as it's like scrubbing your balls with wire wool
dipped in acid.
