All right, gentlemen serious question for you. Are you a bar soap or are you a body
wash guy? In today's video, we're going to talk about the pros and cons of each and
at the end of the video, we're going to determine a winner.
So, let me clarify, the winner I'm going to choose is my personal preference. But,
guys I want to lay out enough information so that you can say, you know, maybe I should
go out there and try a body wash or I should try a bar soap because men are creatures of
habit. We oftentimes do the same thing again and again. And I want to challenge the status
quo, I want you to think about this, it seems something so simple, but something that we
could go ten years twenty years and be using the same thing when there's a better product
for us. Now, I need to point out this is brought to
you by the Dollar Shave Club. I've talked about the Dollar Shave Club before. I use
their razors. What I love about they deliver it right to my mailbox every single month.
A great price, a great value, and a great shave. But, you may not have known they've
got all these other great products including like this hair and shampoo. What else do we
have? The body wash, I'm going to be talking about.
And, what I love about all these, their face cleanser, everything is sulfate- free. So,
when you go out there you look at the market you're going to see these are some of the
best priced items. And, again, the convenience of having it delivered right to your mailbox.
Bar of soap, these are their Wanderer products, a great line. I have been using this stuff
and I can tell you it's good to go. You definitely want to go check it out.
I want you to give the Dollar Shave Club a try. Once you're in the club, you're going
to see the products work amazingly well and the service is world class. There's no long
term commitments, no hidden fees, and you can cancel whenever you want. Best of all,
they're giving away a sulfate-free Wanderer products and a one month trial of their executive
razor for $1 with free shipping and after that, it's just a few bucks a month. You
can only get this offer by going to DollarShaveClub.com/realmen Again, that's DollarShaveClub.com/realmen
All right, gentlemen. Let's start this comparison off and let's talk about the bar soap. Why
for thousands of years has this been the go-to cleansing device for human beings around the
world? Because it is long lasting and it's economical. Think about this, there's no
waste here, when you go to wash yourself, you add a little bit of water on this, you
scrub your body only as much as you need. Unless you leave in the water it's going
to come off the bar and it's there ready for your next use. And these things are going
to last again and again. So, by simply omitting the water having a concentrated rectangle
of cleaning power, boom! You've got it right here everything you need.
Reason number two the bar of soap should win gentlemen is it is better at doing its primary
job which is to remove dirt, remove odors, remove oils. Now, a bar of soap can do this
because they come in a wide variety with, you know, from antibacterial to ones that
are going to use harsher chemicals. Now, you need to be careful, bars of soap
especially those ones that a more harsher, they're designed for the hands not necessarily
the body. So, if anyone that's ever used a soap that is made for removing really tough
grime then tried using on your body, you know that's not necessarily the best thing, but
when it comes down to removing dirt, they're awesome.
Reason number three the bar of soap should win is it's more environmentally friendly.
So, you're usually going to find this wrapped on a paper or in a cardboard versus body wash
is going to be in a plastic container. So, reason number four why the bar of soap
is going to be on top fragrance for you. You're going to fine there's a wide variety out
there versus body washes oftentimes they want to have a fragrance, they've got those things
in there. There are a wide variety of fragrance-free soaps which if you're prone to basically
being sensitive to this or you've got, you know, you're going to get a rash or you're
allergic to certain things, you're going to find that a simple soap is going to be
your best option. And the final reason why the bar of soap should
come out on top, gentlemen, you don't need a loofah you don't need a washcloth, all
you need is this bar of soap you can wash your hair. You can wash every part of your
body just by using this and scrubbing it right next to your skin, it gets the job done.
All right, gents so I laid out the case for the simple bar of soap, now let's talk about
body washes. Over the last decade we've seen these things explode on the market. Now,
why are most men go into a body wash? Why do they prefer it when it seems like it's
going to be more economical to go with a bar of soap? Well, I've got five reasons for
you right here. Point number one. Body wash is a better moisturizer.
So, it turns out a lot of body washes they actually use moisturizing ingredients right
in them which are not going to dry out the skin. Bars of soap on the other hand especially
those designed more for the hands are going to dry out your skin.
Tip number two. Body washes are oftentimes more gentler on the skin. So, I talked about
the primary purpose of a bar of soap is to actually remove oils and odors and dirt and
all of that stuff, but oils, you don't want to always remove those off of your skin especially
if you're showering multiple times a day can really dry out your skin. So, by simply
having something that's made more for the body not necessarily the hands, it's going
to be gentler and therefore better. Tip number three. It's more sanitary. So,
anyone that has lived with roommates and all of a sudden you go and use your bar of soap
on your face and all of a sudden there are certain hairs there, would you like -- I don't
remember those hairs being there and you've got two or three other roommates and you have
no idea who's been using your stuff. Guys, when it comes to body washes, you pour out
what you need to use, boom! The rest of it is kept right there, no stray hairs.
Reason number four the body wash should come out on top gentlemen, aroma therapy. So, I'm
talking about the power of fragrance the power of smell. I've talked about this in many
other videos how it can have a calming effect. It can actually get you more in tune of what
you're going to go into. But, if you're taking a 15 to 30-minute hot shower, you want
to enjoy the experience almost have like a spa experience. And you can do that with specific
body washes that are made to smell great and there are so many different options out there,
so definitely go try it. Finally, gentlemen the knockout blow why should
you choose a body wash because when you're traveling it's just so easy to grab it and
to go. Think about that slippery wet, the bar of soap that's been in the bathroom
for a couple of days, you're staying over to friend's place and you just don't and
you don't have a place to put that, you've got to go find some napkins or maybe you've
got a soap holder, but even then, you know, you're grabbing last minute you've got
to wash your hands. This, you grab it and you go.
Okay. So, which one ended up on top? Gentlemen, before I reveal the answer, I want to hear
from you down in the comments so make sure to go down there. Are you a bar of soap guy
are you a body wash guy? Now, a little bit of drum roll here please.
Okay, I am a bar of soap guy. Simply, this is what I am used to. I, I love a good body
wash, but when it comes down to it, I love how simple how economical and I just am creature
of habit. Yes, even though I've tried this and it's a great option for some people,
but really this works. Now, the Wanderer products. I talked about
Dollar Shave Club is the sponsor of this video, great products. They've got an amazing offer,
I'm going to link to them down in the description. Go check them out, DollarShaveClub.com/realmen.

of these. So, yes, I didn't limit it to five, actually in the article we got ten for
each. So, if you want to go check that out, I go into more in the support article.
That's it, gentlemen. I'll see you in the next video. Take care.
