That’s funny. Earlier today, I explained to my son that we only used bar soap when I was a kid... the only time he ever encounters bars of soap is when we stay in a hotel, and they provide those tiny bars. He thinks using bar soap is unsanitary.
He is wrong about bar soap being unsanitary. Bar soap is fine to use. There is bacteria found on bar soap but it is not likely to make you ill and washing with bar soap still gets you clean.
PS. In the interest of full disclosure, I make soap.
Interesting. I suppose your son thinks germs can be passed around via the soap bar. You might ask the lad, if germs can live on a bar of soap, what’s the point of washing with it at all? 1. Nobody in our house uses MY bar of Dial Anti-bacterial soap except ME, in MY shower. 2. At the vanity in all our bathrooms are pump bottles of foaming hand soap. That should brighten the young man’s day. Blessings on you and yours.
Bar Soap, by definition, is self-cleaning.
