WE TRY ALL SORTS OF BARS TO HELP YOU BUY BETTER

Bar performance is such a personal thing. Of course, the quality of the ingredients, recipe and skill of the maker really make a difference - but individual skin and hair characteristics matter too. We are not all the same (surprise?!). We don't all like the same scents, textures, sizes and shapes. And we don't have to.

These reviews are a variety of peoples' thoughts on testing a bar for a fair few uses. Enough to give it a good chance to perform at its best. How well they go for the reviewer might be repeated for you - or it might not. No performance promises are being made. The reviews are simply to help you along when choosing in a market that has loads of options.

I select and buy all the bars myself and provide them to reviewers. You'll always get 'straight up' opinions here.

One of the many great things about bars is that it's easy to change to a new one if you have a bar that's not meeting your needs. Many bars can be repurposed to hand soap if they're not cutting the mustard in their original use. Conditioner bars often work for shaving, if you find yourself stuck with a dud.

My plea is that you don't let one misfire put you off using bars. There will be plenty that suit your specific needs, but it may take some casting around to find them. Bars are just like other products in that regard, only with more at stake (for our planet) if you go back to the bottle. And please remember to have fun with them. I'm a big believer in everyday pleasures being a foundation stone for wellbeing, and it's through bars that I get a goodly share of morning joy! They're an easy and low cost way to add some pep to your step for the day.

I love my block dock!

I have wanted to switch from shampoo in a bottle to shampoo bars for awhile now, at the beginning of the year I tried but the bar disappeared in a week due to not be able to dry out properly in the shower... when I found the block dock I gave shampoo bars another try. It works so well!! Keeps my shampoo dry and easily accessible in the shower! I’ll be buying more for all of my soaps! Amazing product that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Smaller than I expected, normal bar of soap almost falls out

Hi Sellwood Sellwood Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Maybe you missed seeing the dimensions in the product listing on the website? Your normal bar of soap will stay in the Block Dock just fine if you stand it against the front of the Dock when new. As it gets smaller and changes shape with use, simply lean it to the back, keeping the bottom of the soap toward the front face. There's plenty of space inside the Dock for rearranging the bar's position as needed to keep it happily settled to the very end of its use. You might be interested to have a read of the installation and care information which is in the listing and also in the footer of the website :-). Keen to see you getting the full enjoyment of life with a Block Dock.

A fantastic product (and cleaning-saver)

I already had a Block Dock for my soap bar in the shower, and love it. So when I switched to solid shampoo and conditioner, getting two more Block Docks to keep them tidy and dry in the shower was a no-brainer. Thanks Block Dock for a wonderful, tidy and clean way to keep my solid bars in the shower.

Awesome

I’ve reordered so I must be happy
Keeps the soap from floatting around the bottom of the shower getting all Yucky
Lasts longer in a block dock

Im a block dock convertee

Ive been recommended the Block Dock by several of my friends and can now say Im a fan of them too. Love that it keeps my soap dry and it is so convenient to get the soap out of - no more chasing we5 soap around the soap dish. Thank you Clare for your invention - thoroughly recommend to non users to try.
