Funny, I’m the opposite! I like a bar of soap in the shower and liquid soap in a little pump for hands
Comment on Is it okay to wash hands with body soap?

I was actually kind of confused at first about the liquid and bar soap thing. I've used bar soap to wash my hands all my life, and for nothing else. To wash the whole body during a shower, I use liquid soap (called shower gel) and I would find bar soap unwieldy. Moral of the story: your insistence on using one vs the other is entirely cultural.
Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

I go to the dish soap first if I have anything greasy on my hands. Nothing (that most people already have on hand) works better!

I always used it after handball practice because it’s the best way to get the “sticky stuff” ( I have no fucking idea what it’s called in english) off your hands. It does suck how much it removes even your natural oils and makes your hands feel dry.

I don’t know about handball so I don’t know whatever sticky stuff you’re referring to, but residue might be the word you’d want for that

It’s similar to pine sap and at least in my language we call it sap. It’s used so your hands and the ball get a bit sricky and are easier to grip.

Combo it with some hand lotion after and your hand be as smooth as a baby’s ass in no time.

Interesting. The dish soap I can buy where I live is rather tame. Not as tame as liquid hand soap, but much more tame than bar soap. Like, when I’m washing the dishes, I’ll frequently reach for my bar soap to get greasy stuff clean…
