Baxter of California Men’s Exfoliating Body Bar Soap, Deep Cleansing & Moisturizing Formula with Cedarwood & Oak Moss, Buffs Away Dry Skin for All Skin Types, Paraben-Free, 7 Ounce

These are expensive! But despite regularly deviating to try something else, when I return to them I can't help but beam. I love how this bar is huge - feeling substantial in my hands - and how it has a non-girly scent. My partner loves the scent too but she finds the grit to be way too severe for her skin. The courseness is one of my favorite qualities and maybe as a result, it isn't known for tons of lather. I'll use it 2 days/week to invigorate and totally exfoliate. Because each bar is so big, they do tend to last a long time.

My evaluation of several pricy bars of soap. 1: poor 2: ok 3: good 4: awesome 5: perfection Smell: quality of scent Smell strength: potency of scent Exfoliation: aggressiveness of exfoliating particles Cleaning: cleaning greasy hands Skin feel: how my skin feels after washing Baxter of California Men's Exfoliating Body Bar Smell: 5/5 smells of wood Smell strength 4/5 Exfoliation: 4.5/5. Sometimes too aggressive Cleaning: 4.5/5 even beats some pumice hand cleaners Skin feel: 5/5 best ever Score: 23 Notes: Awesome soap. Best smell and skin feel of any soap I have tried.

THIS... is Baxter's Cedarwood and Oak Moss Essence bar of soap (2 pack) and I have fallen in love with it. I don't usually use bar soap, but was recently convinced to try it out and I am glad I did! This bar of soap smells amazing, and while I would say it is generally a male-leaning scent... my fiance uses it before her bodywash because it smells so good, and the cleaning beads work really well. It suds up quite well, but not too much. I find that this bar of soap does congeal up slightly between uses like other high-end bars of soap from water being left on it, so I recommend putting it in a container between washes to keep it from washing away. I thought that this was expensive for a bar of soap, however, it is well worth the extra money and I can tell a difference from my old dove and irish spring bars of soap that I kept around. I really feel that the beads and soap clean and scrub well! Will be returning to buy more for me and my fiance now and am hooked on Baxter soap!

Overall: pleasant scent that leans masculine (I grew tired of it, personally), good exfoliation, lasts longer than you’d expect, but unspectacular ingredients. Compared to Dr. Squatch: on a per ounce basis, Dr. Squatch soap bars are cheaper, especially when you buy in larger bundles. Dr. Squatch also has a far superior ingredient profile (just a few natural ingredients that you can actually pronounce). On a per use basis, Baxter California wins handily. Ounce for ounce, it just lasts longer. I think that’s enough to erase the cost per ounce advantage Dr. Squatch has. Overall pick: Dr. Squatch. More scent options, vastly superior ingredients, and with large bundles (and sales), you can get a good deal. That doesn’t make Baxter California a bad pick. I just think that when you put some thought into it, it isn’t the best choice for performance or cost.

I can't say enough good stuff about this bar soap from Baxter of California. I have very dry skin and have always had a hard time finding a soap that left my skin feeling moisturized and left me NOT looking like Ashy Larry. I was a very loyal Dr. Squatch user, but was frustrated by how quickly the bars were gone. After seeing how many positive reviews there were for this soap, I decided to give it a try. It's been almost a year since I switched and I am never using another soap. The bars last almost exactly 30 days, so while the price tag seems high, it actually ends up being cheaper than using a $7 bar of Dr. Squatch every week. I am 6' 4" and have a bigger frame, so I would imagine it will last even longer on someone who is of more average size! The smell is masculine and smells like cedar and kind of musky. I get compliments regularly for the scent and my wife enjoys the smell as well. The lather is creamy, and the exfoliating particles are not too abrasive, they are just right. I use this on my entire body and have never experienced any adverse effects. I highly recommend this soap for dudes with dry skin who like to smell good!

My husband loves this soap! It can be a little scratchy if you have sensitive skin, but it's also the one and only way to get my husband to "exfoliate" at all and it smells great.

Excelente producto que ayuda a exfoliar y que te deja un agradable olor en el curpo, el precio del producto vale la calidad que ofrecen

I’ve been looking for a soap like this for a while, it’s like finding the right cologne, buy a cheap product - expect cheap results. Sometimes you have to pay a little extra to get quality and that’s exactly what this is. The bar is much bigger than your average soap bar, it lathes very well (even with hard water), smells masculine but classy with the scent hanging around for an hour or two. If you know how to store soap properly after use, you’ll get plenty of life out of it. I’ll be buying this from now on.

Love this soap! I have a deep Fascination with soaps and this is very masculine and yet relaxing and gives me best lather I had compared to inferior Indian soaps . It doesn’t even dry the skin like a typical poor quality soap would

Ich hatte mich für diese Seife entschieden weil die Resonanzen einen guten Geruch und auch positive Eigenschaften hatte. Leider muss ich festellen, dass dem überhaupt nicht so ist. Der Geruch ist überhaupt nicht vorhanden außer der Fabrik(Herstellungs.) Geruch und die Haut klebt nach der Anwendung. Ich bin maßlos enttäuscht von dieser Seife und deshalb nur 1 Stern.

This may be expensive, but the quality, scent and length of time it lasts is amazing. Great exfoliating soap and good for the environment, if you want a treat for your shower, this is it.
