The Best
Soap for Men
Look, we've all been there. Experimenting with body wash and maybe the girlfriend's loofah or that knotted mesh puff. It seems like a good idea until you realize how much of that slippery slime you've got apply to get clean and those loofahs are breeding grounds for bacteria. Bar soap is just better. It easier, lasts longer and is more environmentally friendly to boot. And right now, some of the best bars for men are the rough ones—infused with natural exfoliating grit that scrubs, massages and smooths your skin. We lathered up in the name of research and here are some of our favorites.
Extend the Life of Your Bar
