What's the best soap?

I like plain white bar soap, without extra detergents or weird scents.

I also like to keep some carbolic soap around, for microbe destruction. It's very rare in North America nowadays, but some companies still make it.

Bile soap is very strong if you have corroded metal surfaces in a battery holder or payment card that no longer works. The body's own cleaning solution.

I found no human variety....Thankfully. ;)

Coal Tar soap can strip the skin off if your any way allergic be careful.

Advice taken.
I had a similar reaction from a product called Kirk's Castile.
I'm not allergic to coconut or it's oil but was caused by one of the ingredients within.
