I have tried many, upon many different bar and body washes over the years, many left me with very dry, itchy skin. I seen this one, decided to give it a try. This is the best soap I have ever used in my life time! I tried this as shampoo and for shaving also, even decided to wash my laundry using this soap, all with excellent results! My skin felt well moisturized, smooth and clean. It rinses clean no residue, no sticky feeling. I HIGHLY recommend this soap!My three lady friends really like it too, one forgot her shower supplies one night staying over, and she used mine and loved it, and has since purchased the lavender scent one and raves about it to me.The scent is light and lasts quite awhile. I wish they offered the Bay Rum scent in the gallon size, but for now IDC I am still going to buy it no matter what! I hope they never change their ingredients (maybe a little more fragrance added) or the process in which they make their soap, because I am finally happy with a soap and will always and only buy this soap from now on.
