What is it with men and the soap ‘Irish Spring’? I was over at Joe’s house and took a peek in his bathroom shower. There were 3 Irish Spring products. (Two bars of soap and one shower gel container.) Knowing that there are 3 boys that share that bathroom, I can only assume that there is 1 product per person. I also know for a fact that my dad, much to my mom’s dislike, uses Irish Spring as well. (She says it has too strong of a smell.) So I ask you, what is it that is so wonderful about this soap? Did its makers come up with the best product ever? Was there some massive marketing campaign to men that I completely missed? Is it the cheapest soap on the market?
If you are a man (or know your mans soap usage) , I’d like to know if you too use Irish Spring and if so, what is its magical allure?
yeah josh uses dove for sensitive skin (i find that funny
), and both my brother and dad used old spice soaps and products so i have never witnessed the irish spring magic allure 
Its because real men don’t have sensitive skin and dove makes you feel slimy.

I doubt any Todd’s. At least, I hope not. I finally got him to switch to Addidas (which at least smells nice), so I hope he didn’t switch back! But I do understand cost being a factor. But Todd typically just uses hand soap. hahaha, I can’t believe we’re talking about soap!
It smells good. It generates a lot of suds. I liked it the best of others I’ve tried. Gels aren’t worth using.
1. Cost
2. Hot Irish chicks endorse it
3. Strong smell masks musty real man scent
Soap is like toothpaste, with low product differentiation, brand names don’t mean much, might as well just get the cheapest. If I remember correctly, my Irish Spring Micro-clean 8-pack cost all of 3.49. And IS doesn’t have the scented, milky, bubbly girly features, which have no business in a man’s shower.
