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.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
