What's Normal? - Bar soap or body wash in the shower/bath? (1 Viewer)

This poll is way closer than I thought. FBG demographic in effect maybe. I can't believe the number from the bar soap side, shocked really

Bar soap is way more efficient and doesn't pollute the world with more plastic waste.

more efficient? a blop the size of a quarter lathers up your entire body........ Plastic is a good point

Yes, more efficient. Grab bar of soap, lather up in hands and go to work. Toss that bar into the pooper like a VHS tape and then eject and WA LA, done. Who has the time in their day to incorporate a loofa??? I need that lifestyle.

Voted liquid but I’m currently using up old bar soap We’ve acquired through the years just to get rid of it.

Liquid soap that the wife buys at bath and body works. Use it for hair (have none) and body.

Soap on a rope?

Is this a thing still? I feel like it's referenced on tv shows or movies but I don't think I've ever actually seen it.

And while I am a happy bar man, I do not fuse.

Going back about 15 years in the notebook, I believe it was @shuke that promoted fusing of bar soap, though I could definitely be wrong on that. I commend it, but do not have the patience for it.

It's super easy.

And beautiful.

100% agree (I didn’t get past the ad banner for adult TikTok)

Switched to body wash at the last house as the soap scum on the glass shower door was very annoying. Wife says body wash doesn't leave the soap scum. We moved last year and now there's no glass on the shower, but I've gotten used to the body wash and scrunchy thing. Dove for Men, for me.

Dove Bar Soap
No washcloth

I've taken a slight bit of crap from some friends who question my sexuality because I use a scrunchie. But there is no better way IMO. Liquid soap, scrunchie.......best method I have found to wash up man.

I answered soap bar, but it's really a shampoo bar.

 

[BassNBrew]

I'm just one of those guys who can't use something called a loofah. I drink beer, own shovels, and move 210 bags of mulch every year by hand.

What’s a loofa?*


*thats the type of guy I am.

I literally had never heard the word loofa until I strolled into this thread.

This is how I know Ilov80s was never at my house on Christmas Days in the 1980s

Soap-on-a-rope was a popular go-to gift to get for pre-teens boys that were too old for toys. If you didn't really know what the kid was into, it was easy to pop into the drugstore and pick up a soap-on-a-rope. Gift cards weren't around at the time ... so soap-on-a-rope FTW!

I think that same gift niche is filled today by Old Spice and Axe body wash sets and stuff like that.

EDIT: And yes, soap-on-a-rope is still a thing -- though it doesn't seem to be as popular a gift as it was 35-40 years ago.

In a vacuum, I prefer bar soap. However, I use liquid because the residue from the bar soap clogs the drain over time and I don't want to mess with that

How often do you shower in a vacuum?

Soap-on-a-rope memories. I distinctly remember getting the Jovan Musk soap-on-a-rope as a gift more than once.

WHAT IS THE ROPE FOR?

 

[Navin Johnson]

Was Iiquid für about 25 years then switched to bar soap and shampoo a couple years ago

You wear this round your neck while you lounge around the bathhouse, I'm thinking

Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap, bar of soap!
Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap, bar of soap!
I'd slide down your heiney, make it clean and shiny!!
Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap, bar of soap!!

Body Wash...unless my kids use it all and leave the empty bottle sitting there, then I use the bar - if there is one. Otherwise it's a whore's bath with a washcloth and hand soap on the sink counter. Man's gotta have options!

 

[Sand]

What brand liquids are you guys using? I've tried most of the Nivea line, which are OK, now trying a oatmeal/shea butter one my wife got for me. It's pretty good, but I smell like a Hawaiian hooker when done.

The Nivea rock salts one is pretty good. But, frankly, I just buy whatever is on super sale on Amazon. I have a few types now and they all work fine.

This board turned me on to this soap, which is all I use and it’s the best ever. I take it with me when I travel. I used to think I had dry skin, not anymore.
