He makes us see a subject we thought we knew so well from a completely different angle; in writing that is deeply researched, but inviting, warm, and full of personality' Katy Hessel 'Charlie Porter is a magician' Olivia LaingWhy do we wear what we wear? To answer this question, we must go back and unlock the wardrobes of the early twentieth century, when fashion as we know it was born. In Bring No Clothes, acclaimed fashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to face with six members of the Bloomsbury Group, the collective of artists and thinkers who were in the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Each of them offers fresh insight into the constraints and possibilities of fashion today: from the stifling repression of E. M. Forster's top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bell's wayward hems; from the sheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrell's lavish dresses to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia Woolf's orange stockings. As Porter carefully unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool for patriarchal control. Travelling through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers fresh evidence about his subjects, revealing them in a thrillingly intimate, vivid new light. And, as he is inspired to begin making his own clothing, his perspective on fashion - and on life - starts to change. In the end, he shows, we should all 'bring no clothes,' embracing a new philosophy of living: one which activates the connections between the way we dress and the way we think, act and love.

The best hand soap bars PERIOD.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Wow! I am actually VERYYYY impressed with this soap. Believe me when I tell you I have tried everything from $5 for 6 bars soap to $50 for 1 bar soap (not an exaggeration). And I can wholeheartedly say this is the absolute best bang for your buck when it comes hand washing/soap. To me these little bars are absolutely awesome for hand washing. I use the scrubby bar when I have a ton of grease after eating say pizza or something & and then I use the moisturizing bars for all other hand washing. These bars blow away some of the best artisan expensive bars I’ve used like Caldwell Massey or Gentleman’s Nod or Ariana & Evans. These are now go to hand soap bars and I will use nothing else because these are so good. I don’t use liquid soap because I feel like I can never get it off and it feels like it’s always still stuck to my skin even after rinsing and rinsing and rinsing so I like using bar soap and I like bar soap that really dry out your skin for your hands and these little bars do it extremely well without over drying your skin. I do wish the scent was a bit more powerful because all 3 bars have a nice scent each. Tried the sandalwood bar in the shower and like I suspected go with the 6oz bars for the shower because these little 3.5oz guys just go too quickly for all over body use. So for the shower, I’ll use the 5.3/6oz bars and my hands these little guys will now be my go to!

Great Quality Soap with a Clean, Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I recently got the Rinse & Robust Men’s Bar Soap Set, and the bar I’m holding in the picture is the Leather scent, which my husband has been trying out first. It has a rich, masculine fragrance that smells clean without being too strong. The soap lathers nicely, rinses off easily, and leaves his skin feeling soft instead of dry. The set also includes Sandalwood and Teakwood, which both smell amazing in the box. I can already tell they’ll be just as refreshing. Each bar feels well-made and lasts longer than most store-bought soaps we’ve tried. The packaging looks great too, so it would make a thoughtful gift set. So far, the Leather scent has been a hit. It’s a classic, smooth, and perfect for everyday use.

My honest thoughts on this soap.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I think this soap is very good. The texture is nice and the scent it omits is amazing. It is a little smaller than they are letting on and it is quite expensive. But if you like quality over quantity then this is for you.
