Anyone still use bar soap?

[zzyzzx]

Yes. I hate liquid soap.

 

[Vil_Riker]

I make my own but will use Irish Spring as well.

My girlfriend still uses bar soap, which drives me crazy when I take showers at her place. I haven't used bar soap in 20+ years until I met her.

 

[Four Rings]

I for one still do. Lye soap with goats milk from North Carolina. Brother and the boys use Irish Spring regular scent. Folks use body wash but not this kid

Yes. Bar soap is a superior clean, IMHO.

Coast or Zest

This thread just proves that BITOG members will argue about anything.

Yes, my own homemade lye soap, just like my grandmother used to make. Started making it a few years ago. My wife made fun of me and refused to use it. She ran out of her fancy soap one day and had to use some of mine. Now she won't use anything else. It's very simple to make: lard, coconut oil, lye (sodium hydroxide) and water.

As Ivory was always advertised as 99.44% pure, I always wondered what that 0.56% contained.

Usually wax of some sort.

I use Irish Spring, Females in the house use Dove...It doesn't wash mechanic debris out of my pores.

 

[gman2304]

I use Dial…..I wish everybody did……

There are a couple of truisms in my life:

1. I'm a bar soap kind of person. None of that beauty bar or glycerin crap, and

2. No one touches my feet, except for me and the coroner.

Everything else is negotiable.

 

[Bighorn2500]

Kirkland bulk pack or whatever is on sale, or Dove I think from Costco.

Seems like all the brands are adding some type of lube. I hate it. All I can find without oil is ivory

This is my beef. Irish spring, Coast, and Zest all seemed to have changed their formulas over the years to add aloe or lotion or some kind of moisturizer to them. Now instead of feeling "Zest fully clean" after a shower, they leave you feeling oily and gross and they leave your shower covered in soap scum. Not sure what you're saying about Ivory, I think it's made out of animal fat and is one of the oiliest and soap-scummiest of all.

Because of the change to all of my old favorites now being oilier than I remember, I have reluctantly been trying out some body washes. I currently kind of like "Old Spice Swagger". It seems to be more detergent based with less moisturizer than others.

Yeah bar soap here. We use Costco's almond bar soap.
I love that someone called it "analog soap."

 

[53' Stude]

Still on my 1st bar of 89% pure pine tar pine tar/lye soap from North Carolina. This stuff lasts forever.

Plus I smell like I hugged a pine tree now

Our “hillbilly GOJO” was dawn soap and spent coffee grounds; worked amazingly well

I tried this yesterday, it works well. DUP and DD OG blend!

 

[Blagoje]

I am a big fan of Duke Cannon soap.
