Agreed. Baxter's was my entry into the manly world of upscale grooming and is still the best combination of price, size and value of any of the American-style "Better Living through Chemicals" school of grooming products.
The Bergamot-Pear Body Wash is one of their better products, richly-scented with a cool purple color and better lather than say, Sharp's.
I do have to say I absolutely despise the new packaging. Baxter's packaging has gone from the epitome of L.A. 1960's Cali Cool to something I would expect to find in the group shower at the County lock-up. A damn shame.
To opine on the question of soap v. gel I would just mention that the main difference between the two in the Baxter's line is that the soap is a glycerin-based soap (as opposed to shea butter, etc.). It is translucent and slick and cool but some people just don't roll with glycerin soaps. For the gel this is obviously not an issue.
