Been using Dial bar soap.I recall they used to have bath sized bars and hand soap bars.Guess economics decided for companies to produce the hand bar size for showers and baths.
Anyone still use bar soap?

I've always liked ivory bar soap. But it's not so easy to find these days.

I think the day we don’t find SpongeBob to be funny, is the day we need to go off to the Green Grove home for the rested…can’t remember when I used Irish Spring exclusively but it’s been over 10 years. As a kid I definitely remember using Dial
Irish spring 
bar.
bar.I tried Olay Oil. Hated how it barely cut oil and grease and left me feeling slimey.
In the winter is very dry here. Could about buy lotion by the drum
My hands crack bad and bleed if I don't lotion up at least every few days.
Sometimes I slath on Eucherun's Cream and go to sleep with a pair of clean gloves on.
I've used Ivory bar soap all my life, works, why change. Sometimes hard to find.
Shampoo? Usually Prell or Suave Coconut. When I was in college, living in the dorms, used the bar of Ivory to wash my hair too, made life a bit simpler. I'm now almost 77, still have a full head of (white) hair.

Seems like all the brands are adding some type of lube. I hate it. All I can find without oil is ivory
It's all liquid body wash on a loofah for me. Haven't used bar soap at home in decades. Last time I used bar soap was about a year ago when my connecting flight was canceled and I spent 5 hours in a dumpy motel room near the Denver airport. All our toiletries were in our checked bag and we had to use this tiny bar of soap for body and hair. It did not make me miss bar soap.

WOOF! Just like the Lumi (stink all over) deodorant fad/madness the female Doctor invented. She became an instant millionaire. She made those silly commercials and then some new , young start up business guys gave her a fortune for her company. They made her sign an agreement with the stipulation that she continue to make those commercials. LoL.
Now it seems her patent, copywrite or trademark time must have ended because near every soap / deodorant company is making those annoying "My body! Whoo! I stink all over....!" "I need some special soap/deodorant all over my body and privates too!" commericals..... OMG.

Bar soap for me as well. But it has to have moisturizer in it for my dry skin.
Yeah ivory was all we used growing up. And lava bar soap.
Our “hillbilly GOJO” was dawn soap and spent coffee grounds; worked amazingly well
You have no idea how much laughter those Lume commercials and the copycat products bring to my wife and me.WOOF! Just like the Lumi (stink all over) deodorant fad/madness the female Doctor invented.

That’s what the girlfriend uses. Her daughter uses my Pine tar soap from The Soap ashes in Spring grove NC
Since switching to body wash, I've noticed that the shower stays clean for much longer, due to the lack of soap scum.
That, alone, makes it an easy decision in my book.
You could wear socks on your hands. I've done that.I tried Olay Oil. Hated how it barely cut oil and grease and left me feeling slimey.
