+1 on the Kirk's Castile Soap. Very nice basic soap, very mild, I have recommended it to relatives who complain how soap dries out their skin in the winter.
Dove bar soap. I love the cool moisture line as well.
I typically don't use bar soap, but SWMBO got me something called Bloody Orange Jock Soap. I like the way it smells (very citrus) and it cleans pretty good, so I use it mostly when she and I are going out.

I haven't tried hardly any yet, but I just started using Razorock's Shea butter soap and really like it. Not much scent at all, but great lather (and we have hard water) and my skin feels really good. I had started taking more vitamin D and using raw shea butter on my winter eczema and had eliminated probably 85% of it and I swear using this soap has gotten that to 95%.
I'm partial to Speick and Musgo classic myself. Dove Men Care also gets some use.
Another vote for Kirks. It's all I have used for the past several years.
My favorite bar soaps right now are Stirling Soap Co. standard bath soaps. The lather is exceptional, the moisturizing properties are excellent, and at $2 a bar, you simply won't find a better qualityrice ratio. The scents are unique and - though subtle - are expansive and well executed. I have only tried the tallow-based soaps, so I can't speak to the vegan bars, though given the quality of everything else Rod makes, I have no doubt they are excellent.
I also give a thumbs up to Max for suggesting SMN bars. They are superb, though the cost is just ridiculous.
I've been using Stirling Soap for a about 2 weeks now. I used the lavender soap and was very impressed. I will def be buying more.
You seriously use it as bar soap? I have a bar that I use as a shampoo bar, once I left it outside for two months to air out that is.
That bad boy has a serious pine tar smell to it, so much so I can't imagine using it as a bar soap or shave soap as they suggest.
Right now I'm going through a 12-pack of Irish Spring. After that I may end up investing in a dozen or so bars of Mama Bear's Aged Spice soap. Love that stuff. I want to look at Trader Joe's soaps, but that'll have to wait.
My two gripes with Grandpa's: it is really small, and it doesn't last long. One feeds the other, so I tend to avoid it. Love the smell, though.

I'm head over heels for Trader Joe's PdP Green Tea. Triple milled, long lasting, perfect clean scent, moisturizing shea butter... all for under $5 a bar!
