There’s a spreadsheet of soap? Like how long they last, how good they are, that sort of stuff?

For a while I was kicking around the idea of taking a picture of the bar of soap once a day then take all the photos and have some dumb video of each bar of soap as it gets progressively smaller before a new pops up to take its place

Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
I moved states and moved in with a highschool buddy until I got on my feet.
He accused me of using his soap and I told him I hadn't used it once and that maybe putting it where tons of water splashes is the reason it goes away so fast.

I get over a month but that one pine tar soap evangilst thread got me to switch to like almost $8 bars of pine tar soap.

It smells like a campfire but it cured a temporary skin condition of mine and a different one on my wife, though she doesn't use it anymore because it dries her out too much.

I suspect that it has the same anti microbial effects as liquid smoke.

Dr Bronners or any other castile soap seems to be hypoallergenic and worked on a guy I knew who claimed all soap made him break out in a rash.

Technically my soap spreadsheet has a slightly different focus. As you can see, I like a somewhat fancy soap with MSRP at $6, which is a bit steep considering you can get Dove for under $1/bar. To optimize the price, one has to buy in bulk online from various sources, balancing initial listed price, sales, shipping, discounts that kick in at various levels, tax, etc. That’s the focus of my spreadsheet, but it has the side effect of revealing that 12 bars last a year.

Typically I buy about 18 bars at a time for an average price around $3.15 per bar, saving almost 50%. Naturally, this is extremely efficient, cost-effective, and deeply normal behavior

I get like 3 weeks from a healthy porcupine pine tar soap that I recommended in that thread. At least I assume it was my thread your talking about. My like of it has kind of waned it's just so strong smelling.

One time someone crashed at my place for a bit and they carved a sigil into my soap bar so they could do a pagan ritual while taking a shower. They also siphoned my money for weed and tobacco so I kicked them out. Then they called adult protective services on me claiming I was abusing my roommate. The two women who showed up from APS were really nice and left after 5 minutes after questioning my roommate to make sure I wasn’t gaslighting her. That’s my soap story.

I swear there was a thread where they were advocating rarely using shampoo and then using like vinegar instead of shampoo to help preserve natural oils. I remember so e goons complaitning that they smelled too much like vinegar all the time.

It's kind of a parallel to the "seasoned cast iron" freaks who are militant about never cleaning it
