Dove sells a nice cucumber soap. It’s not girly-scented and works really well.
Dude has just found that the commercial soaps, whatever the ingredients are in them, make him stink like B.O. by like three pm, and it’s gross. He should figure out what the ingredient is, exactly. I can back this up, he used to be kind of a smelly dude in the evenings and I just sort of dealt with it, and he tried like a billion deodorants, but if he switched to natural soap– and by that, it turns out, all that means is Not Any Of The Big Commercial Ones (he tried Ivory, Dove, Irish Spring…)– he might know what the ingredient was that made him so stinky, but I know whatever it was, it definitely did it. So he uses Kiss My Face or Kirk’s Castile or whatever. Alas, Dr. Bronner’s makes his skin fall off.

can you buy soap from Khadi? they’re durable, natural(-scented), come in a bunch of fragrances, and should be cheap for US folk.
I looked them up and they’re about eight times the price of the “Chandrika” soap he just bought, so. [Whether that means they’re cheap or not in absolute terms, I couldn’t say! The Chandrika soap is really inexpensive.] They can go on the list but he likes to be real cheap I guess.
The best part of all this is that I love the smell. Our whole bathroom smells like it (since it’s sitting unwrapped in the dish), and I keep getting wafts of it, and can’t tell if it’s him or the bathroom. I really really like the smell. He mostly can’t smell it, but he’s been distracted because I found a black walnut on the ground and brought it home and he’s been playing with that all day. The green husk on those things also smells great, kind of sharp and not-fruit-y and we both kind of wish you could get black walnut husk scented soap, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing. (They’d probably smell like the walnuts themselves anyway, which I don’t like– they’re sort of bitter– and not the husks, which are awesome and are also what you make walnut ink from.)
