Does this apply to you?
What do you guys use, liquid wash or bar soap? (My pref is bar soap cos I feel more "hands-on" using them, lol...)

I reckon this is a good place to discuss this very personal topic and maybe we can improve our collective personal hygiene.
I wash myself down using a pressure washer.

Focusing on the red spots (groins + armpits) is probably the main reason why many tradies smell the same on a hot summer day.

I'm focused on scrubbing my whole body down with a soft towel lathered with Italian lemon soap bar if my day allows me for a long 20 minute shower, otherwise I'd quickly lather myself down with liquid soap but I don't feel "clean" enough as I can feel my skin getting grimey within the next couple hours of sweating. Something about liquid bath soaps, they're not as penetrating as most bar soaps because of their lower pH. I like the Italian lemon soap bars because it contains citrus oils which penetrates well into the skin to remove excess grime. Ask every car mechanic and they'll tell you that citrus based soaps and hand washes is the trick to removing all that engine oil and bearing greases.
