Do you still use soap in the shower?

A gentleman is a man who steps out of the shower to pee...I always figured it went down the same set of pipes, so why bother?

When I'm feeling particularly gentlemanly I make an effort to hit the drain directly but, really, people get out to pee?
 
Bar soap FTW!

Unless it's that weird trendy stuff with twigs and crap in. That stuff can fuck the fuck off! I'm having a shower to get rid of the twigs and crap! I don't want more even if they are nicely smelling ones!

The only liquid soap I use in the shower is Dr Bronners peppermint on occasion. It feels especially good when it's hot out. 'Body washes' either smell like a woman's makeup bag, or a Port-A-Pot.

I've been using Dr Bronners peppermint oil soap in the shower for thirty years or so now. It's great stuff especially in warmer weather. It has a cooling effect on the body and feels great in hot weather. In colder weather I've started to use their almond oil version which is very good too. I just don't use anything else, ever. One warning though. Be sure to not get any of the peppermint version in your eye. It stings like hell.

I picked up some Dr Bronners hemp/eucalyptus today. I've wanted to try it for awhile, but I always balked at the price, though it's kind of dumb. I waste money in lots of other places, so a little more on soap is nothing. I can get a gallon of peppermint for $33. The other scents are in pint containers, and $7.50/pint; ~twice as much.
 
Thanks for posting that wiki article. I have seen the documentary about him, but hadn't seen the wiki. Reading through it I came across this paragraph.

Bronner was born in Heilbronn, Germany, to the Heilbronner family of soap makers.[3] He emigrated to the United States in 1929, dropping "Heil" from his name because of its associations with Nazism.[4] He became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1936.[4] As the family was Jewish, he pleaded with his parents to emigrate with him for fear of the then-ascendant Nazi Party, but they refused. His last contact with his parents was in the form of a censored postcard saying, "You were right. —Your loving father."[5] His parents died in the Holocaust.

That really got to me.
