What's your favorite bath soap? Do you like the brand stuff or artisan bath soap? By the way, I happen to like Dr. Bronner's Citrus Orange soap.

Mikes orange, bergamot, and ylang ylang beer soap is good. I like shea moisture soaps as well, great scents.
Dove
Also like Speik bath bar

I like South of France soaps. Maybe because it's triple-milled, it lathers up good with my well water. I'm currently using the Lavender. Not much scent when it's dry or left on the skin after the shower, but during the shower when it's lathered up it smells great.
Thanks to the good folks here at B&B, I've recently been trying out a lot of soaps--from my local artisan soapmaker all the way through what's available at my Indian grocery etc., and my best-bang-for-the-buck choice is Trader Joe's Triple Milled Soap (100% Vegetable, Enriched with Shea Butter), made for them in France by Bisous de Provence.
Two scents are available: Green Tea and Lemon Verbena, both of which are superb. The lather is rich and creamy--almost good enough to shave with! The quality of this soap reminds me of the l'Occitane soap I once used in a hotel--it's really well-made. A big 7 oz. bar will cost you all of $3.29 and will last almost forever.
(If you have a Ross or TJ Maxx store locally, you can sometimes also find some great quality bath soaps there for next to nothing, but it's hit or miss.)

Kell's Original Body Bar Energy Blend is my current fave.
I have tried quite a few artisanal soaps through the years, and my favorite, as well as my wife's, is Mama Bear's Jasmine Nights. I love the way it lathers and the scent is excellent. When I'm not ordering on line, I tend to buy at TJ Maxx or at local craft shows. My wife picked up a bar of lavender/patchouli this morning.

This legendary jet-black soap produces a dense white lather that foams in hard and soft water -- even in sea water! The iron oxide slightly darkens the soap while leaving it in a crystalline state, which creates an illusion of total blackness.
The fragrance is based on the fleur-de-lis; it leaves your skin soft and firm. As you lather in the shower, the unique Magno scent, with a personality of its own, fills your room with a lingering fragrance
I'm a fan of the Nancy Boy Body Bars in either Signature or Spa scents.
Ivory (cheap, down side is that it seems to get used faster than other bar soaps)
Old Spice Swagger (new, cheap, and a really nice soap)
L'Occitane Lavender (the best of these three, but $10 for an 8.8oz bar)

I just bought some TOBS bath soap. Eton College, Jermyn St, and Sandalwood. Yummy.
Dove. Inexpensive and it doesn't dry me out like most others, also it rinses off easily.
I'm a fan of Speick and Musgo Classic bars myself.
My wife and I are currently using L'Occitane Milk for the first time. This soap has been fantastic on my sensitive skin. Prior to L'Occitane, we tried a few bars from Pre de Provence. PdP and L'Occitane both blow most of the drugstore soaps out of water. Once we use up the remaining bars of PdP and L'Occitane, I'll probably make a run to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods to find a more affordable replacement. No complaints so far. Artisan soaps for me.
+1 on Dr. Bronners Orange. The lather explodes out of that thing and it seems to last quite a while. I also use a goats milk soap made locally to me that is a vanilla scent.
I like the aloe and cucumber Lever 2000.
I am an Irish Spring man. I haven't tried many others but I know the shower gel is not for me!
I also like Dr Bronners. I use the rose and the almond. I think the rose is the better of the two.
I'd like to check out some artisan soaps such as Mike's in the near
future.
