my boyfriend knows his bar soap [SEP] my boyfriend loves all kinds of bar soap he gets soooo excited when a new arrives he really liked the fact that this was charcoal he is had many over the years and has really liked them this not so much he said it feels more like a lotion rather than a soap that being said it does lather up very well he said it is more of a grey then a black and he didnt like the size of the bar he said it was awkward in his hand but it dirtied the floor less than other charcoal soap he didnt love this bar i hope this was helpful
