I started using Irish Spring soap, after I had tried a lot of other soaps. I really liked the other soaps only because they smelled good, like Dove, Ivory, and Caress, just to name a few, but when I got them home and used them I hated that soapy residue feeling they gave me. It felt like I took a bath in motor oil.
Then one day I was looking through sales flyers and I seen Irish Spring was on sale... so I decided to try it, (I mean after all it couldnt be any worse than anything else Ive tried.) So I used it in the shower and I have not used anything else since.(That had to be about 5 years ago.)
Irish Spring really seems to rinse off a lot easier than those other soaps, and that makes me feel cleaner.
I would say, if you have dry skin, this probably isnt for you, my fiance tried using it, but after a couple days he started getting little patches of dry skin. This soap is more for the non sensitive skin type.
