Performance reflections	This bar has a subtle but appealing fragrance and is pleasant to use. Hair felt squeaky clean post-shampoo, but some residue was felt in the hair once dry. I got a better result by following with conditioner. As a body wash, it did a perfectly good job and was not overly drying.	The product feels and smells attractive, and it was nice to be able to use a single product as both a shampoo and as a soap. But, when using it for my hair, it left it feeling rough and hard to comb without conditioner being applied heavily afterwards.	I think that the Shampoo/Body Wash bar is a very genius idea because that way I would not have to use separate products. It felt and smelt very nice to use. But one negative thing is that it made my hair rather difficult to comb.
Rating out of 10 on the “would never buy this again” (1) to “must, must, must have this” (10) scale	I would buy this product again as a body wash or for short-stay travel as a 2 in 1 product. I would probably not buy it again as an everyday shampoo. For a body wash, I give it 8/10. As a shampoo I score it 5/10.	5/10	8/10
Advice for users	I wouldn’t normally go for a 2 in 1 product but this one made me reconsider. It is fantastic for those wanting to simplify their skin and hair care routine and reduce waste. It also makes a lot of sense for travel if you have a good container to transport it in. I needed to still use a conditioner, but others might find it OK on its own.	I would advise buyers that the product doesn’t work well as a complete, all-purpose body/hair cleanser, so be ready to use this product in conjunction with others depending on hair/skin type.	I would suggest using conditioner following the bar.

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.

Love this!,

Love, love this concept. What a great invention. I make my own soap, and being mostly made with olive oil, it can get soggy if it’s laying in a soap dish. Fast forward....finding this unique BlockDock has kept my soap upright and no more soggy mess. Thank you for a wonderful product, which, by the way, looks very elegant on my shower wall.

Love it

Finally a way to keep my solid shampoo bar dry! I’ve tried a bunch of ways but they always stick out into the shower too much and get knocked off the wall by my tall family. Absolutely delighted with the slimline design. Thanks so much!!

Belting block dock

Great piece of kit holds the shampoo and conditioner soap bars and does what its meant to, soap lasts for ages definitely saves on buying plastic bottles etc.

Handy hooks!

We got one of these as part of a gift package otherwise I might not have looked at it. It’s proved so handy I’ve ordered another for the second bathroom and the caravan.

Great product

These are a great invention and keep my shampoo and conditioner bars drier which means they last longer and there is less mess. I no longer need to remove them after each shower.
