It looks like Dove soap. I wonder if he is a Lever brother?

On YouTube there is a lovely documentary about a company that makes soap in Syria:

looks as though they use the operator's knee to eject the formed bar - assuming the dies bottoms out in the holder

Very interesting. Where i searched: Aleppo soap is classified as a Castile soap as it is a hard soap made from olive oil and lye.
I remember using Castile soap for cleaning engine oil from the cooling system after an oil cooler failure.
Perhaps because it contains lye.
Also found this: Though originally sourced in Syria, most Aleppo soap is now made in Turkey. This is because the war in Syria makes obtaining the soap all but impossible.
I put it on my Amazon wish list, for the skin not the radiator. Thanks

Neat video, but, I hate the oval shaped soap bars, can never hold onto them when wet. Much prefer the old fashioned rectangular shaped bars.
