giving the birds just the "life hack" is one weird trick

What?! What are people using in the shower if not a bar of soap?- People past the age of 16 still use shower gel?

Why would you stop using shower gel at 16?

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for ditching shower gel
And 60p beans
We'd turn off the lights
And hide from the bailiffs
When I was seventeen

....people use bars of soap in the shower...what?

Use a good shower gel!

Main problem with soap:

I’ve used shower gel since secondary school the mint ones the best, gives you great tingles

Because it's for children who want to seem cool, like Lynx.

Apparently this is a controversial opinion. I mean I use it when I go the gym and stuff but that's because I can't carry a wet bar of soap in my gym bag. But at home?

Shower gel is for children? What?

Imperial Leather Foamburst is the shower gel of kings

My life since 2006

Also - depending on the contents of the gel and the nature of your skin, pure bar soap may be a non starter for showering. Quite abrasive and itch-inducing and not necessarily ideal for pores.

There's a Netflix explained about Skin which basically advises that the only real way to clean your skin is to wash with hot water and then dry yourself with a towel.

I got 5 Lynx Africa sets for Christmas.

May as well use them ironically.
