"The pine tar we use in our soaps is authentic, highest grade kiln burned pine tar from Sweden. Auson makes pine tar the old fashioned way by burning pine tree stumps in kilns. This method is also known as, "genuine peasant made tar". "

What is this madness? Why does everything in my life have to become so complex??

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

Yeah, I remember because I tried some of those. One way was washing your hair with baking soda and rinsing with vinegar, or using sulfate free shampoos. The baking soda and vinegar didn't seem to do much and the shampoo I tried made my hair feel like crunchy wax.

Genuine swedish peasant tar? Sweden never had serfdom or full feudalism, there never were swedish peasants! I'm filing a class action lawsuit.

I buy fancy soaps that are either French or are for hipster guys with mustaches who know what aloeswood is. They usually come in giant bars and can last me months because I have a few open at once so I can have a fragrance for my every fancy lad mood.

I can also vouch for pine tar and other conifer soaps. I had backne into my 20s until I started using pine tar soap.

No it's rugged okay? It gives that hunky woodsman scent that makes up for the lack of muscle mass and ability to grow a beard needed to complete the look.

Sometimes the bar of soap slips out of my hand and disappears up my rear end. If it's a long time before a poo poo after that, my body gradually absorbs the soap bar, and I find myself blowing bubbles when I hiccup. Does anyone else get this?

It's not exactly common in the United States and nobody lives elsewhere so I don't blame them.

Is there like a pepper cannon but for pressing slivers of soap together?

I feel like there is a big gap in the market, where I should be just shoving soap bar slivers into a chamber, aiming at my face or my torso or feet and a high velocity spray of soap shards blasts out and sticks to the surface, just requiring a quick rub and rinse.

Slivers of soap can be put into a soap saver bag. it's just a porous bag that prevents the slivers from exiting but giving you soapy goodness when water is applied. they're like 4 bucks for 5 on aliexpress.

i regret to inform you that many major hotel chains have stopped giving little bars of soap and now have large bottles of soap bolted onto the wall in the bathroom (same with the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower)

Indeed. Another Covid related fatality, just like what happened to most of the "free" breakfast buffets.

Thankfully, another Covid consequence, I travel faaaaar less than I used to, so I've just been using up my soap hoard for a while now, but I still have years of soap to go.

Does anyone remember the goon from like a year or two ago who needed help unclogging his toilet because he flushed a whole bar of soap down it and then he got banned for being so stupid as to try and flush a bar of soap down the toilet. I think about that a lot when I am in the shower and it is very funny to me

Get a soap saver, buddy. It is like a little string woven sack that helps you scrub under your arms and keeps the soap from washing away needlessly. You can also jam it full of many smaller soaps.
Body wash has never removed body odour in the way that superior soap bars do. You people sicken me.

Stop making soaps that look like delicious desserts people!

For soap, I just form a sheet of soap into a large tub shape and roll about in that as the shower rains down, until clean. Each soap tub last about three months.
