Is there ANY advantage to bar soap over liquid soap?

If you use bars of soap, please explain, I'm genuinely curious what the use cases is.

I'll speculate that they are more affordable and there is less waste (shipping/containers/plastic bottles)

I’ve been a Dr. Bronners maxi for a decade+.

I like Dr. Bronner's and still use it as hand soap. It's not that effective as a dish soap; doesn't cut the grease well. And too harsh on hair and face.

I use Green Goo's liquid castile soap for face.

How's your experience with Dr. Bronner's?

It’s the only soap I use to bathe, but then my head is shaved, so ya know. I do distill it to a third soap, 2/3rds water.

My wife uses other products.

Ha! I shall try it as a body wash. For hand soap, I distill it to about 1/6.

Maybe I just love reading to bottle too much. 😆

What do you mean?

* reading the bottle

Have you never read the fine print all over a Dr. Bronners bottle? It’s … wild.

Same here. I get weirdly excited when I read it like I'm reading some treasure hunt instructions. 😆😆

Only when I liked the ingredients better. Some are cheaper but the good ones are pricer. And need to be careful not to let it stay soggy after shower. Otherwise they'll just slowly disappear...

Liquid soap doesnt leave soap scum residual on shower tiles like bar soap does.

Traveling with liquid sucks. Also you're paying for water when you buy liquid detergent or soap. I use solid soap only And powder detergent.
