Having money isn't a good excuse to be wasteful. Why not use the last of the bottle?

I've been considering switching actually. I need to find one which doesn't make my hands feel weird though. To ease my conscience a bit, I've been buying larger "lower plastic" refills for the smaller bottles.

Perhaps they meant throw bricks at the rich. Not the ones made from soap.

Depends on water though. I find it impossible to fully wash off shampoo or shower gel with hard water, but bar soap will wash off easily and fully.
I don't know what's really going on there though.

With hard water?? Usually it’s soft water that makes soap like butter. Hard water should wash soap off easily. Am I missing something here?

Hard water should wash soap off easily

That is what I am saying. Soap yes. shower gel and shampoo no.

Really? Weird. I never noticed that. But I haven’t had to deal with hard water in a long time. Maybe I’m not remembering.

I tried a bar shampoo but it made my scalp itchy and my hairs felt like they were coated with a "sticky soap film" like in the old Zest commercials

First shampoo bar I tried was garbage, I tried a different brand and had much better results

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I am a barbarian. I buy "soap" and use it from scalp to sole.

I think they are putting water in the bottle in an effort to get the last of the soap out and stretch it a little further.
