Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created a unique literary character who has remained popular for over a century and is appreciated more than ever today. But what made this fictional character, dreamed up by a small-town English doctor in the 1880s, into such a lasting success, despite the author's own attempt to escape his invention?
In From Holmes to Sherlock, Swedish author and Sherlock Holmes expert Mattias Bostr m recreates the full story behind the legend for the first time. From a young Arthur Conan Doyle sitting in a Scottish lecture hall taking notes on his medical professor's powers of observation to the pair of modern-day fans who brainstormed the idea behind the TV sensation Sherlock, from the publishing world's first literary agent to the Georgian princess who showed up at the Conan Doyle estate and altered a legacy, the narrative follows the men and women who have created and perpetuated the myth. It includes tales of unexpected fortune, accidental romance, and inheritances gone awry, and tells of the actors, writers, readers, and other players who have transformed Sherlock Holmes from the gentleman amateur of the Victorian era to the odd genius of today. Told in fast-paced, novelistic prose, From Holmes to Sherlock is a singular celebration of the most famous detective in the world--a must-read for newcomers and experts alike.Binding Type: Paperback

soap is too thin and runny, and feels diluted and cheap.
Scent: Coconut, Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As stated above, soap is too thin and consistency is too runny. Antibacterial properties are good, and scent is adequate, but thin consistency necessitates the perception that one has to use more, as well as controlling the “stream” while dispensing is tricky. Liquid soap should feel luxurious, and not like the soap found in the local service station’s men’s room, where industrial grade hand soap has been diluted with water to make it last longer.

Best foam soap refill if you use the right soap dispenser
Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack), Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack)
Nice and foamy (pic shows foam dispensed at level 1 bc my kids wash their hands a lot..level 4 looks like whipped cream!) Lovely rose scent. Hands actually feel soft afterwards. Works better than I expected. This *foaming* soap specifically needs a *foaming soap dispenser*. It specifically says that on the back of the package. So for those complaining it’s a liquid and stays liquid, perhaps you’re using just a regular pump container. This soap will be my go-to to refill my automatic foaming soap dispenser. Highly recommend.

most convenient refill system
Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack), Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack)
I have been a fan of J.R. Watkins for a while, but these foaming hand soap refills have really sold me on the brand. I get compliments from guests almost every time they use the guest bathroom.
The refill process is incredibly easy and mess-free. The spout is designed perfectly so you don't end up with wasted soap running down the side of the bottle, which has been a frustration of mine with other brands. The foam itself is rich and it doesn't just turn into water the second you rub your hands together.
I love that I can reuse my dispensers while saving money and reducing plastic waste by buying the larger refill pouches. If you enjoy a high-quality foaming lather and an upscale scent, this is a perfect 5-star household staple.

Good hand soap for the price
Scent: Lemon
Great value for the price. The lemon scent smells fresh and clean without being overpowering, and the foaming soap works really well. I like that it’s alcohol-free and made with plant-based cleansers, so it feels gentle on the hands and doesn’t dry them out. The 2-pack refill size lasts a long time, which makes it even more worth it. Overall, a good buy for everyday use.

The best foaming soap. Doesn't dry out my hands
Scent: Lemon
I wash my hands many times a day and found that every other foaming soap I used was drying out my hands pretty bad. I found this at Target one day and gave it a try. No more dry hands!
I bought a couple Oxo foaming soap dispensers and have been using this soap for a couple years now. The lather is thick and the soap cleans my hands well without drying them out...which was a major problem with every brand I tried previously. It also smells good, but not strong (I usually buy fragrance-free products, but this doesn't bother me at all).
