Your skin was hydrated, just like rubbing lotion on.Tried using those liquid body washes for men but always felt greasy after a shower.
I live in Colorado, an extremely dry state and hydrating the skin is important.
Bar soap: which one do you use?

Meguiars gold glass. Plenty of suds, doesn't strip the wax and leaves an nice shine.
I used Irish spring for years in the shower and lava for the garage. As I’ve aged I moved liquid soap, usually old spice swagger. It’s also easier for camping and to put in my hockey and referee bags for post event showers. One thing I can’t stand is a wet softened bar of soap
Just my $0.02

Whatever is on sale. I love Dial Gold because it smells amazing same with Irish Spring and Ivory. And I like Duke Cannon when I can find it too.
It's not like we're using pumice stones and following up with a spritz of Windex for the irritated parts...
Dr Bronner's bar soap, usually the tea tree oil stuff.
Dial Basics, when I can find it. It's usually either sold out locally nowadays or it costs a fortune online. And that's dumb because there's nothing to it and it should be like 50 cents a bar.
I've found that once you go to less perfume-y soaps for a while, using anything else makes it smell like you were involved in an unfortunate Bath & Body Works explosion. I don't know how I used Lever 2000 for so long but it makes my eyes water and my skin itch now.
I'm a sucker for a clever ad campaign so I'd love to try one of the 'Big Ass Brick of Soap' from Duke Cannon but anything I smelled at Duluth Trading seemed too heavy for my tastes.

So manly!

Big Ass Brick of Soap
It's not so big that it beeps when it backs up, but it's big. The Big Ass Brick of Soap is modeled after the rough cut, "brick" style of soap used by GIs during the Korean War. At a hefty 10 oz., each Brick of Soap is about 3x the size of common soaps and lasts much, much longer.

The wife and I had a compromise! We use Oil of Olay bar soap and we both use Pantene 2in1.After I got use to Oil of Olay it's not that bad.
Irish Spring and when I get bored from using the same thing after finishing up something like a 12 bar multipack I go to plain old Ivory

Well isn't this a daisy. I had to log in to reply to you good folks. After many year of using irish spring body wash, and dial, I've found Old Spice Swagger body wash to be more superior. Not only does the toxic masculine smell make other non dominant feminine smelling men convulse in fear, it also removes oil grease and grime so much better.
I usually just use good ole Irish Spring because its cheap. Lately I tried some Mrs Meyer's Clean Day bar soap and its quite good. Its expensive but its got a nice scent to it.
Started using Dr Squatch about 6 months ago and I'm pleased with it.
Dr Teals Foaming Soap for day to day and Submission Soap after training.
Dr Squatch for a few years. Amazing soap.

Depends on what you use. Dove Men+Care body/face wash contains petroleum jelly as a moisturizer. I tried watering it down in a foaming hand soap dispenser, and I saw the petroleum jelly clumping in the container. Whatever keeps the petroleum jelly in suspension doesn't seem to work once it's watered down. Here's an ingredient list:
But a detergent based body wash may actually work better and rinse off cleaner. And the big thing for me is no soap scum to clean off.
That is pretty much the truth.
