I use both. I prefer bar soap for lathering up a wash cloth in the shower, but my wife keeps motion activated liquid soap dispensers on the bathroom sinks for washing hands. When my hands are really cruddy, I keep a bar of lava soap on the laundry room sink.
Bars---
I don't need anything else capable of slipping through my hands.
I have both.
Bars for bathing. Liquid on sinks and in the kitchen.
I use a bar of soap in the shower, but I use liquid soap for hand soap. I also use liquid laundry detergent, but powdered dishwashing detergent. Hmm. I guess I have all different types.
I use Dove for sensitive skin in the shower ( Bar Soap ). At the kitchen and bathroom sinks, I use liquid soap.
I prefer shower gel. No rings around my tub.
I have both liquid hand soap and a bar at each bathroom sink. For bathing, I like Dove shower foam.
I have liquids at sinks but in the shower I use a bar of lavender/mint goats milk soap.
I like comet powder really cleans
