Naw, that's probably so you don't accidently drop it...
Bar soap: which one do you use?

It follows that cell phones, potatoes, and even hamsters should come with strings. Soap is such a filthy topic.

Same. Love the stronger smell of Irish Spring. When I was a kid, that Irish guy in the commercials sold me when he cut a slice out of a bar with a pocket knife so you could see the waves of green and white soap through and through. Cutting that soap with a pocket knife was an alpha-male move, so I'm sure it spoke to me subconsciously. And the chick loved it.
Btw, that other guy has Autin Powers' chest hair! LOL!!!
Lava has to be the one soap more manly than Irish Spring. I may put a bar in the shower and see what my son says after he tries that stuff on his nether region. LOL!
Ivory pretty much exclusively
Pretty much all bar soap is lye soap. Just look for an ingredient like “sodium tallowate” or “sodium cocoate”. That’s reacting lye with a fat. (Real) liquid soaps use potassium hydroxide instead of lye.
I got curious and found that some bars use solid detergents. The current Dove does. However, most are still traditional lye reacted with a fat like beef tallow or palm kernel oil. Dial, Ivory, etc are still lye soaps.
Bah, real men scrub themselves clean with just a pumice stone and maybe chlorinated brake cleaner. If it doesn't hurt, you're not clean!
I just inspected all bathrooms for the current state regarding soap. To my dismay, other than liquid soap dispensers, I did found one unopened bar of Kirk's Original Coco Castile Pure Botanical Coconut Oil Soap. It must be the housekeeper's personal item since I surely didn't buy this. It doesn't smell too offensive but it's a bacteria trap and a potential breeding ground for MRSA. "Angela, we need to talk!"

Two bars of Duke Cannon as stocking stuffers. The flavors are Naval Diplomacy and Pine Tar.
Just thinking of this after we started using Dove bar soap bought at Costco. They seem to use a solid detergent rather than real soap. We were previously using Dial Gold, which is a real soap. I haven't cleaned up (which is a pain even with bathroom cleaner that's supposed to dissolve it) all of the soap scum, but it seems that it's not developing any new soap scum.
