I've been using Kiss My Face olive oil bar soap for showers for like...a decade, but switched to Dr. Bronners bar soap this week cause Kiss My Face was out of stock. My partner's been using Dr. Bronners liquid soap for years, but I never got on board just cause I prefer bar soap.
Long story short, I think the change will be permanent. The bar soap on its own somehow smells like a grandparent's basement, but it seems suspiciously effective.
I have nothing to back me up except my experience, but I've been using Dr. Bronner for the past 2-3 months and I'm going to switch to something else once I finish this bottle.
I liked it, but it cleans a little too well if that makes sense. I felt like my skin wasn't left with any oils and it would dry my skin out too much. I currently have to use a bunch of lotion for my skin to not be dry, and I already used to moisturize a lot before the soap.
I don't even use it on my face unless I have been really sweaty. There is a woman near me that makes charcoal bars of soap and that's what I plan on using afterwards.
Oh weird, I'll have to look out for that coming from an olive oil soap. So far so good though.
