Green alternative soaps - Does this sound familiar?

I have just laughed my head off at this - it is SO true. A friend (mentioned in another thread I just posted) is currently obsessed by every green scam she can get her hands - currently being disillusioned financially and cleanlinessly by washballs.

So, most times, washing hands or dishes means using about 4 gallons of products, still to no effect. So when I read this, I thought it could be her!

We have shower issues. Today I had a shower and she's put out some kind of weird cosmetic soap. I flinch at the idea of guessing how much this soap must have cost because it's utterly rubbish, which is usually a good indication of knee-buckling expense (Cotton flannel - 50p, Skin-lacerating wad woven from dried bark and nasal hair by Amazonian tribeswomen who will use whatever money they make from the sale to buy cotton flannels - £12.50). This soap did not wash, but instead covered me in an iridescent film of grease - and, sadly, I'd made a last minute change of plans and decided to spend today sitting in front of the TV rather than swimming The Channel. Tch - irony, eh? Anyway, I had to have another wash to remove this oleaginous soap from me.
