I stopped using soap 6 years ago, but I usually don't tell people because there's still such a stigma attached to it. But the reaction of those I do tell is always the same "Wow, but you don't smell like anything at all!"
- gumby 7y agoAgree! I do use soap occasionally (for "pits and pubes" or if I come back from a few weeks backpacking to get the deep grime out) but apart from that...no need, even after the gym. I started out without shampoo about 20 years ago after reading a reference, just water and a vigorous scalp rub. My wife thought it was fine though I don't have long hair. And it seems absurd to put detergent in your hair followed by an additional product just to put back the oils removed by the detergent.

- vannevar 7y agoI also stopped routinely using soap in the shower years ago. I shampoo my hair once a week, just because I'm very active and after a week it needs it. But I rarely use soap, other than on my hands.
