I watched or rather heard my Mom brush her teeth with Brylcreem back in the day.She was actually pissed off at my Dad about like it was his fault. I came running because she made the most god-awful noise. And she did not appreciate my smirk a bit either.
She was also a believer in the old Ivory bar for dissuading my brother and I from using those good descriptor words. It wasn't as nasty as I would have thought, but I must admit I never, ever though later to brush my teeth with it.

Well, that's just silly. If I were going to douche, I'd use Listerine.

According to my wife, you'd only do that once!

If you count my patients in dental school, I’ve been at this for 31 years. Many different opinions on toothpastes, but you are lucky number one on the bar soap.

20 seconds earlier and another keyboard would be gone. ROTF

Instead have no you can always find one person who suggests something or another is the best thing to use. I don’t think I’ll be trying it but if you want a routine that will help prevent too many trips to the dentist read “Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye” and follow their routine. It has worked great for me. BTW, the routine is 30 second rinse with Closys oral rinse, brush (I guess you could use soap but they actually make stuff to brush with) , rinse with listerine for 30 seconds, rinse with a fluoride rinse for 30 seconds. You need to floss too, I don’t think Dial soap will clean between your teeth well.

Surprised no one has said, "Get some damn grease".

As a kid it took several times, but I learned soap is bad in the mouth.

I’ve heard of people using salt. On my v, a survival guy used ashes from his camp fire.

Sorry couldn't resist!

Never used soap myself. I'd probably gag too lol.

LOL I KNEW someone was going to post that.

He should try it with grilled Spam.

I'll stick with Crest, thanks.

I'm with you!

I admit that I have never heard of such a thing. Looked it up on the Google, and apparently the OP isn't the only one who does this.

I'm seeing my dentist later today. I'll inquire while I'm there.

He used what on your "V"?

Just remember though, it doesn't protect against corrosion. So that'll be a separate (douching?) step....

Seeing the word Lifebuoy reminds me of the story about a particular ad on the outfield wall at Shibe Park during the Phillies' lean years in the '50s.

The sign read, "The Phillies Use Lifebuoy!" Supposedly, somebody snuck into the ballpark one night and painted underneath, "And they STILL stink!"

Now THAT, I would be willing to try. Or bacon. Bacon would be good.

Ha! I was completely sober and used the icy hot instead of my deodorant. Never made the mistake of buying icy hot as a stick again.


I use toothpaste primarily but I do keep a toothbrush in the shower and have used Dial to brush and it's weird.

Mix those ashes (lye) with a little fat and you've got soap. So...he's almost there.

Your mother sucks c--ks in hell!

Whoa there. ^
