I percolated coffee until 1994 when I got on the grid and started living in a house.
I use a permanent filter, the same one I got ten years ago.
It doesn't take more coffee and it IS a better smoother brew.
 I still perc coffee when I go camping.

Sears ain't the only catalog I used in the outhouse, but I still prefer toilet paper for it's much better absorbency..not to mention softness almost equal to a Mullein leaf. Mullein is a bit rare around here. TP isn't.

But then, mops in general don't work as well as a rag and a set of knees and elbows. Depends on how much floor ya have. Swiffers..yea...crazy stuff, convenience gone wild is all...and no one seems to know how to wash a diaper anymore. Without a little Fluoride, my teeth get very sensitive...it does work, can be over done...and prolly shouldn't be drinking it. As I get older..some lotions do a fine job of reliving alligator skin...some better than others and most better than the "natural" products I've tried.
 Engineers do have their place in the world.

The Glycerin is an important industrial chemical, but Olive or Hemp oil isn't so much and prolly works better.

Point...nothing is all bad or all good.
Your very good soap makers don't make soap for free, do they? That puts them in the same category as the industrial concerns, work for a profit making something they can 'sell'... ie "commerce"....or...they are DIYrs and you are a leech on their efforts when you don't pay for them somehow.

Try a little discrimination rather than broad condemnation....you sound like an anti-believer whacko, Dude.

An anti-believer is one that runs from a nutso "norm" to something even more crazy and exclusive, validating it with nothing more than... it isn't that "bad" thing, regardless of what or how warped the perception of it is, therefore it's "good". [But, it's usually the SAME thing in reverse...thoughtless "belief"..doing the very same thing. ]

 Nature IS a chemical plant and it's not all safe and benign.
Contrary to popular whacko anti-belief...you can't make an intelligent decision without discrimination.

..it's all the Jews fault...kill em and you'll be different. [with no one left to blame for being an idiot ] Go ahead, take down "industry" and see what living is like working a field with stick and spending your whole life less than five miles away from it. [ I'll be watching for your smoke signals, superior in every way to email. ]

So true, I know a few very good soap makers. I only use home-made or organic soaps. Except for the "Swastika Brand" from India I am trying this week.. LOL..

That's the trick, they pull one thing out, then sell it back to you for profit, it's the perfect rouse. Pulled the wool over everyones eyes. Let's not forget the dangerous chemicals they add into those lotions, including skin penetration and irritation ones. Which then require you to use more and more lotion, the perfect scheme. I always say, the guy that invented the coffee maker was the perfect scam artist. Uses 75% more coffee, disposable filters, and makes at best, average coffee. Yet he convinced the entire country to toss out their perfectly good Percolators. Brilliant! Sears catalogs worked fine for toilet paper, until the company that printed them got the idea to print them on paper that didn't work for that, then sell you back paper that would work on your rear. Big-Pharma got the perfect scam, they tried to patent nature. When that didn't work, they got the idea to pull out individual substances that worked, synthesize them, then sell them back to people at a huge profit. It was the greatest, most profitable shell game ever conceived! Manufacturing runoff add to the water supply, perfect place for it. Use humans to dispose of this toxic substance that requires special handing to dispose of!

You can make a hobby out of discovering simple truths, and it becomes a fantastic game to play. These idiots have convinced other idiots to buy things that are absolutely the most useless and wasteful things ever conceived. They're a bunch of swiffer mops! The way we shut down this 'Beast' is to simply stop buying into their deceptions, illusions, and card tricks. We starve them, and the sooner each of us starts doing this, the better we can get this quiet revolution to pick up steam.

 NaOH and fat = soap...disbursed [??] ...with a Glycerin by product.

Cold Process Soapmakers have it down to a litany. When asked why their soap is better than store-bought, they say (among other things), "Because of the natural glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin. Glycerin is a natural by-product of the soapmaking process and while commercial manufacturers remove the glycerin for use in their more profitable lotions and creams, handcrafted soap retains glycerin in each and every bar."

Melt and Pour Soapmakers have a similar line, "Commercial soaps remove the glycerin for use in more profit producing lotions and creams, my soap has extra glycerin added to it. This helps make it clear, and also makes it a lot more moisturizing."


If Hydrated Gylcerin softens skin, could it also un-harden arteries?
