Dr. Squatch Bar Soap

It's a soap gimmick with the up-in-your-face commercials. I ordered 3 deodorants and 3 soaps.

The deodorant is not a roller so hold on to your underarm hairs. The soap lasts about 3 showers then turns into a breakable and unusable mess. Stick with the basic 6 bars for $6 Dove for Men and any basic spray underarm deodorant.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So the only reason I didn't give 4 stars is because shipping took 17 days and it was $10 for one bar of pine tar with shipping. So, negatives out of the way, I received my bar and the first thing I did was smell it right out of the pack, which was a bit mild but smelled great. Then I practically ran to the shower to try it because I had been waiting so long. Anyway, this stuff lathers so great with so little soap and smelled alot stronger in the shower, which I loved. Overall I am happy and will be ordering some more soap scents to try as well as deodorant and shampoo/conditioners to try as well.

To begin with, over $11 for 1 bar of soap. That includes shipping, but come on! I left the same review on their website – too expensive for what you get, smells no better than Irish Spring, doesn't get me any cleaner. And once again, way too expensive! If you use a washcloth, you might get 5 lathers out of that $10 bar of soap. Customer service wanted to make it right by sending me another bar, but once burned...

I have ordered/placed 2 orders with Dr. Squatch. Each time there have been significant delays. I live less than 20 miles from their distribution center but their shipping time is terrible. You can see that the items are sitting in a mail center for over 12 days and never moving. When you contact their customer service they give you the same BS that you can view tracking. Well, I can view the tracking and the darn soap is not moving.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

All in all, I found this product to be missing on so many different levels. Before using their products, I happened to clean out the shower pipes, which were running beautifully. After three months of using their products, the drainage is significantly slower. That's because many of their products leave a soap residue. It's especially pronounced with a black soap because you can see it staining the shower after as little as one use.

The company may be onto something in terms of trying to get buy-in from the public. Unfortunately, the products have to stand up on their own, and almost every product has issues. I bought three soaps, the wooden soap holder, and the complete shave kit with face soap, mug, and brush. The shaving soap works well; however, the mug is oversized, and the brush holder is minimalist.

They are working from the Apple playbook. You are to become an early adaptor, happy to promote their products and buy frequently. Unfortunately, the items of value to me were the green soap holder (it does keep soap bars from sliding out of your hands), and the wooden soap tray is good to have. As far as everything else, too many minor issues when trying to justify buying more.

I bought a sample kit with different types of soap. To me, it smells like Irish Spring, except for the Bay Rum, which I liked. It is not worth 7 bucks a bar regardless. If you do buy, get the Bay Rum.
