I find having a refillable pump liquid soap dispenser preferable to having a bar of soap by the bathroom sink.

You?

Liquid but I put it in my own pump not those corny ones that it comes in.

Yeah I have a chrome and porcelain 'modernistic' pump. But I also have barsoap.

Different soap for different strokes.

Bars of soap seem to be petri dishes of disgusting slime. I'll take liquid and use a paper towel to push it down.

It may be preferable, but it's also way more expensive. Therefore it's a bar of soap for me.

Bar of soap on the bathroom sink and one liquid thingy (Sanex or something like that) in our own Refillable Soap Thingâ„¢ for the bath and one for the shower. Toilet downstairs has a soap bar and in the kitchen we have another liquid one.

We have bar soap. BTW, we also keep our dish rack on the left side of the sink.

I use rocks and sand to wash my hands. I love that earthy scent.

The shower has bar soap, while the sink has liquid. Liquid is more effective for normal hand washing, while I've never gotten a liquid soap to work right in the shower.

We have a nice pump container that goes with the decor-a frosted, vase-like container with a shiny silver top and pump.

liquid for these reasons:
• seems to last longer (bars just melt away too quickly) therefore cheaper esp if you refill.
• antibacterial
• no soap scum
• easier on the drains (buildup); i have an older house

Liquid foam. self-foaming soap is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and sliced bread is overrated.

There's a surprise.

Is it a powerful, fulfilling spurt or does it just sort of dribble out of the pump?

Nice steady flow but takes a while between loads.

Can someone please explain to aberdeenwriter why that "Pwned" image showed up when he linked to another sites image? He seems rather traumatized and confused judging by his PM's to me.

He can't understand how I new they were going to image and was kind enough to point out he has an iMac G5 with a gig of RAM whatever that has to do with it.
