Does anyone else still use soap instead of shower gel in the shower?

Nope, neither do we.

I make my own cold processed soap, usually honey. I have sensitive skin and anything else irritates and dries my skin

We never have any residue on our bath or shower cubicle.

Which soap do you use?

L'occitane and Dr Bronners, sometimes oilatum soap for me, my wife tends to use dove.

I like soap, it's much better for shaving your legs. I normally use whatever Lush ones I have left from birthdays and Christmas but I've run out and upon visiting Lush they only stocked a small selection of soaps and they were expensive
My soap doesn't last as long now, my OH has started using it for shaving his head too.

Love dove soap - use it to wash and also keep new bars dispersed amoungst my clothes - keeps them smelling fresh

hello stardrops, could you point me to the recipe?

I too have sensitive skin, have to buy sls free shampoo, and I only use unscented olive oil soap.
Fortunately I have lovely friends & family who bring bars back for me - mostly from southern French markets.
You can buy savon de Marseilles online - it looks expensive but a huge block lasts ages, and I use the old French housewives' trick of keeping it in the airing cupboard so it dries out a bit and lasts longer.
I do buy some liquid olive oil soap, I don't use it much as it is wasteful, but I put it in a little bottle for travelling and use it on my hair as well.

I use shower gel most of the time. I usually get it every Christmas and birthday (being born in January, perhaps it's just too easy for people to regift their Xmas toiletries) so by the time I get through that lot, I don't need to fork out for too many bottles.

We use both in our house. I know what people mean about soggy soap dishes but we have a magnetic soap holder (unfortunately I'm not able to post a link). Works a treat. Just google it.
