    I would much rather use that bar of soap than the mysterious liquid gels full of dyes and other junk. If natural tones are somehow gross and icky but a blood red goo that faintly smells of petro chemicals is fine then maybe we really are doomed as a species.

    You go back a century or so, that bar of soap would likely have been considered a luxury product.

      i don’t think soap with grit added would have ever been considered a luxury product, low-quality soap still looks way prettier

        The grit exfoliates and makes your skin softer by removing dead skin. Definitely luxurious before soaps were more common.
