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
To be fair, I’m a bar soap user…and while the bars are individually wrapped in cardboard, there still is usually plastic overwrap around all of the cardboard boxes of bars.
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
I’ve found the same, although I’m sure other good ones exist. Just haven’t had a reason to try them.
Used Duke Cannon for a while, liked them too but frankly I’d much rather pick up a pack of soap when I’m shopping than have to worry about ordering some online.
I see them here and there, and occasionally still pick them up when I do (love the fragrances), but unfortunately it’s usually at shops I don’t frequent or as a seasonal end cap.
Edit: highly recommend their solid cologne too, nice scents and it lasts forever
It’s great. I don’t use it too often, only really when I’m going out, but I’ve had the same container for 3 or 4 years now and it’s maybe half gone. Think it cost me maybe $30 shipped?
I alternate between Dove and Caress both leave my skin nice and smooth; I’ll occasionally use a gel but they feel like they leave a layer so I don’t use them much.
I have been using Dove for a long time now. Recently I have been thinking that it moisturizes too much. I wish I could find a bar soap that moisturizes like Dove but maybe half as much moisturizing.
I’ve not yet gone down the interwebs rabbit hole to find it.
I’ve been really liking Aleppo Soap. 3 ingredients: olive oil, laurel oil, and lye. I find it moisturizes just enough, and doesn’t have that weird smell that Dove has.

I buy bulk shower gel, in 5L containers and have used the same 1L gel pump for 3 years so far. Much less waste.
I only have paper waste you still have plastic waste.

What kind of soap do they sell where you are??? It sounds super gross and I’m not surprised you think it’s weird people use soap.
But plenty of soap is nothing like that.

I’ve seen Duke Cannon in lots of brick-and-mortar stores.

Solid cologne?? Ok now I must Google. Never heard of such
