Soapless in Cincinnati (2 Viewers)

Unless you poop flowers there is no way Uranus doesn't stink like an anchovies aunt.

I've gone without soap (other than hand soap), shampoo, or deodorant for about a year now. No shtick. (I do get shampooed once a month at the salon where I get my hair cut.)

My hair is much softer than it was when I used shampoo. IMO, my armpits smell much better now as well. I haven't gotten comments about smell from others one way or the other — including from people who'd definitely tell me if it was a problem. My skin seems less oily as well. (I do scrub all over with a loofah sponge in the shower.)

I originally tried it after reading Nikoley's original post on the subject. Since every commenter who tried it was unanimous in reporting a good experience with it, if I figured I'd join the experiment just to see how it went. If it ended up being stupid, no big loss. I could go back to soap and shampoo easily enough. But it didn't end up being stupid. It ended up being an improvement that I decided to stick with.

I'm calling :popcorn: on this my friend.In my uber hippie days, I went many weeks, months, without cleaning myself. However, the beginning few days you just feel dirty. You don't feel healthy and vibrant and oil free. You feel dirty and greasy. I had copious amount of drugs to get me through it though.

Do you exercise much? I *might* be able to see this working for someone who is in good shape and doesn't sweat much during the day.

I'm still scrubbing in the shower. It gets the stank off.
 
Day something

I've contracted some sort of illness. I'm congested. My throat is dry. My lips are really chapped, I don't think giving up Chap Stick is really part of this is it? I'm thinking I may need it.

I doubt my recent condition is due to being soapless, but I'm not ruling it out. Also, being mostly bedridden hasn't allowed me to shower in over a 24 hr period and the effects are noticeable. It's cabbage, baby. I'll try to muster up some strength to get my scrub on, but if I am unable, there might be dire consequences: a new level of body odor that which I've never attained. Still, I'm not blaming this on no soap, it's still indeterminable if that is the cause at this point. I did get in a nice sweat just before despite being ill. Pushups/situps in the room was not fun, but it felt good.

Feeling pretty good now, probably get them pores clean real soon here...

to save money on expensive soaps and other unnecessary toiletries, you know, free the animal?

Soap and shampoo aren't that expensive. We're talking pennies a day here, Pigpen.

They invented that stuff for a reason, guy

It might be interesting to start a thread about stuff that people buy purely because of marketing.Number one on my list might be multiple-blade cartridges for shaving (three blades! four blades! five blades!). Each cartridge costs a few bucks, I think. In my experience, using a safety razor with a fifteen-cent double-edge blade works every bit as well — and I get 8-9 shaves out of it before I have to replace it as opposed to 4-5 shaves with a cartridge. I think the switch from unpatented blades to patented cartridges was driven almost entirely by marketing claims, and not by improved efficacy.Daily shampoo may be number two on my list. As I understand it, people generally shampooed once a week or so until television commercials by shampoo-makers in the 1970s told people that they should shampoo every day. My experience is that shampooing once a month gives me better results than shampooing more often than that.I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.

I never got this. I used 2 blades in college and if I use 2 blades now it just does not feel right. I found a happy medium with 3... never tried 4. But, the part I do not get is how often people throw these things out. I use mine for at least a month if not longer at a time. 30, 40, 50 shaves... I don't know but it definitely is not 5, 6, 7 and then throw it out. Big Lots has a pack of 4 or something triple blades for $2. I might try them someday but I have a stash right now from BOGO or other sales that cost me $2.50 or something anyway. Find a good sale, I guess the ones I use are not much more.
 
so...

Maurile Tremblay is a dirty hippie?

I have to say he was way down on my list of mods likely to be a dirty hippie

Rud and Dodds were the smart money. I mean come on, wheat pennies, that has hippie scheme written all over it

 
There's a lot of brainwashed suckers on here acting like I'm the crazy one. Free the mother####ing animal people. Mine's probably about 19.5% freed at the moment.
