I voted throw away but with a caveat that it depends on the definition of sliver. Once my soap gets to like 40% thickness, I get a new one for the washcloth and use the old one as face soap. By 10%, which I assume is the sliver definition, the old-new one is down to 40% and I'm not about to keep 3 bars going at once.

I usually have a bar of soap and some liquid bodywash in the shower at all times. Just depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes you gotta loofah, boys.

I'm completely mystified that bar soap is still made and that people still buy it.

I'm in a weird place with this one. I will use a bar of soap in a hotel, but at home it's 100 percent body wash/shampoo.

In terms of a sliver of soap, I don't ever deal with that anymore.

I went through a body wash phase but I never felt really clean. And hotel soap is impossible to get off your body, you have a perpetual greasy feeling.

Caveat: If I do a bunch of yard work or otherwise feel really grimy, I'll use the bar of soap in my wife's shower*. Otherwise, I prefer body wash because it doesn't feel like it clings so much to everything.

* - With the kids gone, I might move back up to her shower. As it stands, I use the one downstairs because I listen to podcasts while I shower and shave and it's loud and the kids complain because they're soft. **

Yep, this is why I can't use it. I need to press something firm against my skin (heh) to feel properly scrubbed.

I guess I underestimated the size of the liquid soap contingent though. Sorry if I soap-shamed anyone with the douchebag comment. I always associated liquid soap with the type of guys who get all their hygiene products from Axe and wear silk shirts a size too small. Or is that you?

When I started going to the gym regularly carrying bar soap with me just wasn't very practical.

I'm not a fan of liquid soap myself for mostly the reasons stated here. I admit being a little surprised the liquid soap contingent is so strong. Maybe because I associate it (probably wrongly) as "feminine".

Wait. Is using liquid soap at bathroom sinks for washing up creepy? I would think standard. Bar soap for showers, liquid soap at sink.

Oh, I tried. I was brought up in a bar household, and harbored the same short-sighted opinions about liquid soap users as carwash. But getting both the soap and the container dry enough that I wasn't hemorrhaging soap proved to be too difficult for me to put enough effort into accomplishing.

I'll say the poll is for showers specifically.

I used bar soap right up until my literal first night in basic training. Bar soap is not allowed.

After that I never went back and have used liquid soap with a scrunchy loofah thing since.

Plus, they make all in one soaps these days. So it's also my shampoo.

Yeah, it's just more convenient now.

Recent anecdote: I attended a football viewing on Saturday, attended by couples. While making the greeting/hug circuit with the ladies, 3 of them told me how nice I smelled.

So, now I gargle with that shit, too.*





* - not really. but that's also not the first time that's happened, where I shower and soon thereafter show up at a happy hour or something and receive a "you smell nice" compliment.

I don't like the shampoo/bodywash ones.

(But I have also used that ocean stuff on my body and it does indeed smell great)

I prefer a bar of soap to liquid stuff. Lots easier to use. I also like to meld it to the next bar, although I have to get at it before my wife throws the sliver away.
