The advertizing department of Proctor & Gamble has done their work well. They have convinced you that cheaper bar soap (lower profits for them) is nasty, and the more expensive (higher profit margin) and trendy body wash isn't.
I shower every other day using bar soap. The brand is Dr. Bronners Peppermint Castile soap.
To the posters who are making a fuss of how filihok decides to take care of their cleanliness should probably chill a little. S/he opened up and told you how s/he takes care of cleaning and it should be left at that. To some it may be an oddity not to shower everyday, or even 3 times a day such as one poster informed, but it shouldn't give us permission to say s/he smells or is dirty. Please remember that even though this is the internet and it does convey a degree of anonymity it doesn't mean that feelings might not get hurt.
Ok, if you're comfortable with strange pubes on the soap more power to you. Not in my comfort zone.
I rinse my bar of soap after use so there won't be any stray hairs on it. I also place my bar on an upside down hairspray lid so it will not get soggy on the bottom.

Thanks, but my feelings are fine.

This. Plus, they've also convinced many people that they need all these products to keep their skin healthy.
The pubes on my bar of soap are mine. Were they to be my wife's........ well I hope I don't need to explain that for you.
Strangers use your shower and soap....
Five kids, two parents, countless in-laws and small single bathroom homes for most of us. Love my family, but don't want to use the same bar of soap they just showered with. Don't you ever find yourself spending the weekend at the in-laws or vice versa?
Liquid bodywash. No bar to slip out of my hands, no slivers left over, no curlies stuck to a bar, no goo in the soapdishes. The cost difference is nothing over a year's time. I just bought some unscented Olay bodywash which seems to get me clean and helps with dryness. Women like my skin, which is as good a reason as any to keep using moisturizing bodywashes.
A week's worth of dead skin, oil, sweat, and whatever else I come into contact with on my skin would make me crazy. I don't even want to think of what I'm leaving behind on furniture and clothing. Yuck.
