The real deal ever use it other than foaming winter scent

Always used it on the farm to clean up especially after repairing equipment and getting covered in grease. Good Stuff.

Mom used lava soap to wash our mouths out when we [bleep] up YUK !!

Always a bar of Lava in the garage sink

I use it after a trip to the range or after cleaning my guns.

Gojo used to be the goto stuff for cleaning your hands of black grime and filth, but many years ago they were forced to abandon their original formula, since an ingredient was linked to cancer.

Yup!

Was always a bar of Lave soap on back porch of house next to hand pump and sink, Even help with tobacco gum on hands.....

It was the only soap that would clean the tobacco gum off your hands after a day in tobacco field.

Lava is good, Boraxo is mo bedder...
Gets the graphite anti-seize grease out of your pores.

I can remember it as a kid. We didn't use it at home, but can remember more than one grime coated sink with a bar of the stuff sitting on it.
It was like washing your hands with a brick. No suds, just use it as an abrasive to remove greasy filth and finger prints! LOL!

Any more, if I get my hands greasy, I use good old "Goop"!
Much more effective and much less abrasive! 👍
A little Goop on a toothbrush will clean up fingernails and cuticles. Lava won't do that.

Use some stuff @ work - Kicking Mule or something. Industrial suplier brings it.

Seem to work better, more pumice.

Liquid - not bar.

Used it since a tot used to think it was made from lava from a volcano

I haven’t used that in 50 years

My grandfather used it, my father used it, I use it. Good for copper fouling too. GD

+1.

Always a bar of Lava somewhere at farm and blue-collar working friends and relatives homes. Still keep a bar of Lava on my bathroom sink right next to a bar of Ivory.

I's my go-to whenever I accidentally shoot someone in the face.

I usually start with Acetone, Xylene and/or D/N and move to Goop/Gojo... then Dawn.

Haven't seen Lava in a while... It was pretty good stuff.

We always used Comet on the farm to get the grease and oil off our hands. Helped on the hog smell also.

Before someone makes a mistake

Only Lifebuoy causes soap blindness

Had a welding shop years ago and thats the only soap we used in that bathroom to get the black nasty smell off

Lava used to be the go-to hand soap when getting really dirty and greasy hands. Haven't seen it around in quite a while. I have something called "Fast Orange' here that I use for the heavy duty hand soap chores. Has pumice in it and no petroleum solvents according to the label. Works pretty good.

if it weren't for Lava soap and Goop I would never be clean

Lava soap and Fast Orange for me. Us it all the time too clean grease and grime off my hands.

Gojo...
Better known as monkey jiz. Walk out of the schidthouse with it dripping off your hand, especially when there's a female in the area. 😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I have a bar of grit soap from a government contract, bought in the 1980s, that makes Lava seem smooth. I use it for extreme cases like when I get expanding foam on my hands. Nothing but physical pain will remove that crap.
