The 100 senses bar cleans very well, and it seems to lather more than traditional soaps and shampoos. It's hard to explain, but it leaves your hair, face, and body feeling what I would call "luxuriously smooth" (even in hard water). I love it. The worst part is that between using it on your entire person and the easy lathering, it does seem to get used up faster than a traditional bar of soap. Replacing three [liquid] products with it is enough for me to justify that, but to each their own.
Also, I forgot to mention that while I don't have any good sunscreen advice because all my preferred, reef-safe solids feel like solids on the skin, I can say that if you get burnt or chapped, Surfer Salve works miracles.
