I love pine tar soap. I tried it based on Grant's recommendation first as a face soap, soon the entire body. I have told this story here before: when I went to a month long radar course in Norman OK and met a fellow cute meteorologist who road a metebecance with a leather saddle, who tele skied, AND who used pine tar soap, I married her! We both just shared a shower together and one bar of pine tar. My conclusion: pine tar soap leads to marital bliss!
