A friend said she was asked to be a in video reviewing Fisher soaps. I assumed it would something about soap operas. Nope! It's about a local company that makes specialty soaps. Actually, there are several of them in this area. (We're very clean people). I can't imagine $5.00 or $10.00 for a bar of soap. Apparently, lots of people love specialty soaps because the area supports several of these specialty soap stores.

I buy my soap a couple of dozen at a time. I get the cheapest name-brand soap that Sam's has to offer - Dial, Dove, currently Olay.

One thing I started doing many years ago - wearing latex gloves when I work on cars, or whatever. I started doing that long before mechanics got the idea.

Down here (north of Greensboro) it's "Charlie's Soap". But they never asked me to review it! Maybe they're afraid no one will "unnerstan' my Lawn Guyland axint", or maybe "cuz I doan-you-zit" but...

BTW, back when only Playtex had latex gloves, my girl's dad had a pretty good way of cleaning up after working on his car: he'd buy the cheapest shampoo he could find (cheaper than Lava or Go-Jo) and use that to clean up. That and scratching a bar of soap before working to keep the grease from under his nails.

Speaking of Playtex, they made the first space suits.

I quit using soap years ago. I just use a body wash that is good for hair as well as cleaning the body. I use a conditioner for my hair though since I think the body wash is harsher for hair than some of the better shampoos.

I use Ivory which is inexpensive but I noticed the price is significantly higher than before.

The best soap I have found to use is dishwashing soap! Cuts grease quickly and inexpensively

I use soap on my clothes...not my body.

Water and a washcloth...and scrubbing...that's all it takes.

It's the best way to keep your friendly bacteria 'bloom' intact...and working at full capacity.

The more you shower with soap and goos...the more your 'bloom' has to rebuild.

Science...

But Ivory soap has 0.56% impurities.
