    Gross, who uses bar soap in 2023? Shit just smells bad

    I lather and then spread it around though. My hands are clean because, y’know, it’s a shower and I’m using soap

      Another bar soap user. And they don’t smell bad. Not sure what you’ve tried. Liquid body soap feels like it leaves a layer on my skin. Bar soap doesn’t do that.

      Btw, your liquid soap is more watered down than a bar of soap. And bars are less expensive.

        Granted, different bar soaps will have different smells. Like any soap, there are multiple brands and multiple fragrances to choose from. I’m sure there is a gross smelling bar soap out there lol.

      There’s more bar soaps than ever. You can even get special hair shampoo and conditioner bars or shaving cream as a bar

      I’ve never heard anyone complain about the smell but I also don’t understand why anyone would use bar soap in this day and age. Do people just like having dried out oddly sticky skin?

      I honestly don’t get why you would even have body wash as a separate thing … shampoo is perfectly capable of washing everything.

        Bar soap is actually a lot better about moisturizing your body now than it used to be. It’s also a lot better for the environment and creates a significant less amount of plastic waste than liquid soap. And it tends to last longer than a bottle of liquid soap.

        I’m sure you could use shampoo to wash everything. But it does have different moisturizers and oils and additives then soap for your body does. And that can make a significant difference to some people

        Gotta use the Dove original beauty bar, at the risk of sounding like a shill it’s seriously the only bar soap that doesn’t leave your skin feeling all weird and sticky
