I've never used soap, unless I've had grease or something on my hands, since my first year of school when my teacher washed my mouth out with soap for saying a bad word. Don't even remember what I said, but I can't stand the smell of it still. I'm of the opinion that the whole scrub-yourself-silly thing is a scam perpetuated by those peddling the products. I certainly enjoy lovely hot showers each morning. I have all my life been not-smelly. What the soapist argument misses is that you are always going to have a rich culture of microbes living on you. Estimated around 500 million per square inch on your face. The soapy folks would have you think that's a bad thing that can be fixed. But in reality what it does iskill the weak, the beneficial, and leave open unoccupied pastures for the worst, the hardiest, real nasty types that will slay the weakened good few that remain and make you stink of the rotting corpses of those who rmain. Srsly, certainly wash yourself, but we lasted a fair while just fine without soap, and our body oils are produced naturally to protect our skin. Yes, sometimes it's overproduced, but for the majority we do not need soap. Any who disagree, cool, just sharing my perspective. I fucking hate soap. And I smell fabulous.
