I think they sometimes change the shape of a bar of soap to reduce the weight of it. I remember when the standard bar of Dial was made more “ergonomic”, and it weighed a half ounce less than it’s predecessor. I wonder how many people noticed that they’re paying the same price as before but get less soap?
Dr. Bronners smells good. It hardly produces any lather. I found it a bit harsh on my skin after using it for awhile.
I apply Gojo with a right angle grinder at low speed equipped with brillo pads. Gets even the toughest black sulfurized molybdenum grease off, including skin if you go too fast. Ive done it, it works. Wire wheel too, though you’ll bleed some.
Afterward, french L’Occitane Almond Oil Body Soap. Dr. Bronners is nice, but doesn’t foam worth a damn.
