Went shopping today with the Mrs. (who saw it on the telly that cake soap was being phased out but thought it was a bit of nonsense).
Yep there we were in the soap aisle of the supermarket and there was “F-all cakes of soap”… Body wash lined up in row after row but no cakes.
Is this 'social engineering' to the Max!!!
Now I’m a Hi-Viz wearing guy and I ‘Don’t wait to be told’ sort of soap user that comes in cakes NOT a body wash using a frilly thing on a string.
Faced with one of the hardest decisions of my life in that aisle was I a ‘Honey & Mango’ or 'Pomegranate' sort of bloke or would I even go for a 'Coconut Island wash'?
Now the things that I went my mind what would the honey do to the hairs on my back, crack & sack or would the pomegranate just be to fruity for the guys at work, but the Coconut Island just sent thoughts of an Asian Hooker doing a massage.
Now I know the plebiscite has been called off but is this a step toward making it compulsory or is it just trying to get things in via the back door?
I just walked into the bathroom and there it was 2 Doofers hanging on the shower taps… Pink for her and Grey for me (and she insists I don’t get them confused), looked like Fkn pom poms for a Cheerleader dance routine.
But soap is soap. It gets stuff off.
Anything liquid does not get stuff off, unless it is dishwashing detergent or bought at Repco and has sand in it.
Keep making real soap FFS
I keep this in the shower......
Get it at Bunnings and other hardware stores
Maybe not so good for regular crack and sack though 
Bull****, our local Target has 10 & 20 packs of the original Palmolive soap. I buy one each Xmas as a stocking filler and my family thinks its hilarious. lasts a bloody long time.
Pick up some plain handmade natural soap.
That other stuff listed above isn't even soap as it used to be known, its cheap detergent really.
Get a bar of LARD at the supermarket, melt it, mix it with dishwasher soap, let it cool and make your own CONAN Soap
Oi Gizmo!!!
Now's your chance to stitch up your missus and at the same time bump up your bloke-rating to a respectable level.
nip into supercheap and pick up a drum of this stuff, and leave it in your shower for her to trip over.
Since she insists on mandatory liquid washing - this stuff will leave the bathroom sparkly clean at the same time.

Prefer not to have bad bacteria living on my soap.
Why are people super paranoid about bacteria? They have been there for a long time, and are essential to life.
I think there have been studies where washing your hands properly with normal soap was as effective as any of these hand sanitizers.
I think some companies are pushing the 'you must disinfect your hands' theme a bit too much. If they had their way, you would be disinfecting your hands after any interaction with anything.
Current thinking is that a surge in allergies in children is related to growing up too clean with their parents disinfecting everything. As a result the child's immune system doesn't know how to deal with minor problems so over-reacts to them. Make your choice. Have a super clean house and a child with allergies, or a regular house and a child that has an immune system that can cope with minor attacks.

Yeah and the formaldehyde in it will keep her looking young forever and ever.

Isn't that a scientific impossibility? Soap has too high a PH for bacteria to live on the surface of, it is just a big bar of high PH disinfectant. It's like humans living on the sun.

Listened to a quack, MD, on the radio talking about bacteria. Explained how a new born baby's gut is completely sterile and that during the birth process bacteria from the mother's nether regions "seed" the child.
We cannot survive without bacteria. Kill all the bacteria in someones gut and they will follow not long after. Any wonder people are so sick nowadays when processed food is dosed to the maximum with preservatives. The preservatives are there to prevent bacteria from colonising the food and "digesting " it. They, the preservatives, do not instantaneously get rendered ineffective when they go down your gob. They continue their task inside your gut and very successfully screw up your digestion.
Anyhow anyone who has tried to grow mushrooms as a hobby will realise how hard it is to actually sterilise something successfully.
Bloody hard.

Breweries do it regularly (i.e. sterilise) , and on a GRAND scale. If you get that wrong, you can ruin a rather large batch of beer!!!

Thanks, I'll forego lunch!
Im sure you lot will find just as much enjoyment picking up the bodywash as you did picking up the soap.......
Geeeees guys, I thought I was getting very mature but you must be old decrepit farts! . WTF is a soap bar did not see one of them for years! Liquid shower gel all the way! Has double use as shampoo as well!
Mum use to buy the "Soap on a rope" for us kids for Xmas, mine use to last nearly a whole year,,,??, I remember taking out the light in the bathroom with it and another one got hooked on the power line.
Nothing wrong with liquid soap, I stayed with friends a few days ago and forgot to take some shampoo, the second bathroom only had a bottle of Kids 3in1 Happy Apple Shampoo Conditioner & Bodywash in the shower so I used that. Seemed to do the job and no tears?
Are you sure that old mate didn't have a cry 'cos you'd used too much of his fave shampoo?

Mate if you tear something in the shower you are being too vigorous.
