Dr. Squatch Bar Soap

Hard to say anything positive about this overpriced soap when you can’t even get it and their service department (Dan) can’t help!

Placed my order on November 29th and they immediately charged my card. Today is December 21st and NO SOAP!

The first order was supposedly lost (even though Dan never shared the tracking number)! Hello, he lied, it was never shipped.

The replacement order from Dan never arrived either. Guess what, Dan never gave me a tracking number in the “second shipment” either. Once again Dan lied.

Is this a giant soap scam? I think so because they can't get me any soap!

What I do know:

1. They can’t service their customer!

2. The soap, that you never get, is grossly overpriced!

3. Dan (in their Service Department), is a total liar!

Save money and buy something else.

The soap is good, smells and feels good. The support staff is very helpful and friendly and do their best to help you. Wide variety of products to cater to all kinds of people.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought a sample kit with different types of soap. To me, it smells like Irish Spring, except for the Bay Rum, which I liked. It is not worth 7 bucks a bar regardless. If you do buy, get the Bay Rum.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Not sure what was worse; the scent, the stains it left on the shower and washcloths, or the short life. If you have a white shower or white washcloths, they will be stained black from the pine tar soap. My wife was appalled at the smell, and even more PO'd at the mess it left in the shower and the washcloths. At best, it may have lasted 8-9 days before completely falling apart, an incredibly short life for a $7 bar of soap.

If you work with your hands for a living and get your hands and body dirty, this is not the soap for you. To get the dirt off, you better bring a wire brush with you into the shower - this soap simply won't cut it. Did I mention how it stained everything it came into contact with? Definitely not worth the inflated price you will pay for it. Next year I may buy more to seal the cracks in my bituminous driveway.

All in all, I found this product to be missing on so many different levels. Before using their products, I happened to clean out the shower pipes, which were running beautifully. After three months of using their products, the drainage is significantly slower. That's because many of their products leave a soap residue. It's especially pronounced with a black soap because you can see it staining the shower after as little as one use.

The company may be onto something in terms of trying to get buy-in from the public. Unfortunately, the products have to stand up on their own, and almost every product has issues. I bought three soaps, the wooden soap holder, and the complete shave kit with face soap, mug, and brush. The shaving soap works well; however, the mug is oversized, and the brush holder is minimalist.

They are working from the Apple playbook. You are to become an early adaptor, happy to promote their products and buy frequently. Unfortunately, the items of value to me were the green soap holder (it does keep soap bars from sliding out of your hands), and the wooden soap tray is good to have. As far as everything else, too many minor issues when trying to justify buying more.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got the soap and it’s amazing. Order and expect it to take a few weeks to get to you. Once it does, make sure you place your next order a few weeks before you are out. I highly recommend the pine tar. It comes off black but rinses clear and leaves you clean and smelling amazing.

I have ordered/placed 2 orders with Dr. Squatch. Each time there have been significant delays. I live less than 20 miles from their distribution center but their shipping time is terrible. You can see that the items are sitting in a mail center for over 12 days and never moving. When you contact their customer service they give you the same BS that you can view tracking. Well, I can view the tracking and the darn soap is not moving.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

The soap emitted a black ink-like substance all over my face and sink, it was just awful. Thankfully I was able to use regular Ivory soap to clean the black stain off my face and sink. Asked Dr. Squatch to replace the pine tar bar 3 times, no less.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been using them for a while now. I love their scents, and it has made my skin feel so much better compared to every other soap.

I see that everyone else seems to get no more than 2 weeks out of their bar, and this has left me scratching my head. I have had almost every bar last more than an entire month. I did invest in their cedar "soap saver," so that might be the difference.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Expect this product to ship 19 days after ordering, plus transit time. Terrible product distribution. If I would have known it would take this long to get the product I would not have purchased it. The intent was to purchase for a birthday present.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered some soap in March, it never showed up under my account. When I contacted them they had no idea if I had ordered or where my shipment was but they took my money. Then they started ignoring my contacts. After several emails and filing a complaint with the BBB, my money was finally refunded. Just today I get online to check my bank account and they are taking $19 again from me and this time I didn't even place an order, my account shows nothing in it, no subscriptions and no activity. Now it's back to playing games with them to get my money back. Their website does not allow you to cancel/close an account either so who knows how often this is going to happen.
