The same battle played out with my BF. He swore that he wouldn't use it and that it would melt his skin off. Well, I plied him by making a craft beer soap (he's a beer snob) and made sure that it was a nice recipe. He still didn't want to use that so while he was turned in the shower I soaped up his bath poof (yes. a bath poof. ) and handed it to him. After he was all super sudsed up I told him I used the beer soap. Now, he's not exactly hooked... but at least he's open to it. I plan on including him in the next soap I make. His favorite... Magarita! I am tempting him further by making them salt bars. He can't resist a good margarita!
