Farce!!! Stainless Steel will not absorb anything. All this does is scrap off the debris and allow water to wash it away. Pumice will do better than this.
Not to mention the point of soap is to disinfect, not just remove odors.
Soap is a surfactant. It makes it harder for the germs to stick to your skin, and the water can more easily wash them down the drain. Don't trust the 'disinfectant / antimicrobial' crap unless you take 1-3 minutes to scrub with the soap. All the disinfection is occurring down the drain, where you just washed everything.
From good ol' wikipedia:
"The stainless steel soap has been discussed on the American radio station NPR. A professor emeritus of chemistry conducted a home self-experiment and did not notice any effect[2]"
Pumice will open your pores and embed the odor in your skin.
how many bars of soap would you have to steal from the workplace bathroom before you'd break even on $4?
But if you keep one of these in your underpants you never need to do laundry.
Yeah, don't trust the germ killing properties of soap unless, you know, you actually wash your hands properly.
It's a matter of safety. Washing your kid's mouth out with LifeBuoy leads to BLINDNESS! Stainless steel preserves their eyesight.
I think there is a guy here at work who must use this stainless soap. He stinks up the whole place.
Wave, #9...I think we work at the same place.
What an odd looking ben wah ball
I've washed my hands and rubbed them under the water with a piece of stainless steel flatware after cutting onions and it really does remove the lingering smell of onion. I don't know why it does, but it does. That said, I doubt I'll ever buy something like this when I have plenty of stainless flatware already in my kitchen. I also doubt is has any sort of sanitizing abilities. It just removes the odor.
It does not wash, act as a surfactant, detergent, or abrasive, nor does it disinfect. It just causes some sort of (ionic?) change in the chemicals causing the smell so to some extent they don't smell as much anymore.
The reason for the form factor instead of silverware or the sink is that you have to take your stinky hands and open the drawer to get at the clean silverware (usually) or your sink might be even dirtier than your hands (or it certainly won't be clean after wiping dirty stinky hands on it) and the bar shape can sit in a soap dish. You can use the sink instead but overall this saves some time for "some" people.
it's a pretty shape
If you grip it tightly in your fist, it will greatly improve the effectivness of your punch. Only if it is solid. After thinking about it, I doubt if it is solid.
Not to mention impress the ladies outwardly.
