Follow Up Review: EcoBar Shampoo and Conditioner Bar

I've heard the claims that bar soaps can last 80 washes, equivalent to 2 bottles of shampoo.

Well here's my experience:

I started using the EcoBar shampoo (Heal+Detox) and conditioner (yellow) first week of October.

Photo below was taken yesterday, November 29th. The shampoo bar broke down to pieces a week or so ago but I just put all pieces in my palm and I wipe the entire thing to my head of hair. The conditioner bar (middle bar) is only halfway used and can still be used to at least 2 more weeks I think. I added a newly opened shampoo (Thickening) for comparison.


So given I've used the shampoo bar for about 7 to 8 weeks, it's safe to say I was able to get close to 50 washes out of it already. Would it reach 80 washes though? The current sizes of the pieces will probably last a few more days, nothing more. The conditioner bar though is another story and might actually deliver 70 to 80 washes. BTW, I always use the shampoo and the conditioner in tandem so they were used the same number of times.

At any case, I also need to consider my hair. Long and thick. Maybe that's the culprit why my shampoo bar didn't last 80 washes but at this point I am still amazed that it has lasted me almost 2 months, pending a handful of days.

It arrived packed in a brown paper the size of my hand. The amount of materials saved is well worth it.

Restaurant: Raging Bull Chophouse and Bar

Fine dining at its finest.

Ambiance is great albeit the very low lighting, not good for taking pictures if you're celebrating. Table setting, choices of cutlery and even the chance to choose your own knife makes for a well curated experience.

The choices of steak is great as well as the sauces and salts/spices available. Good list of wine though that I haven't personally tried but my family got a bottle at least. Good options for dessert. I had the wagyu MS3 cooked medium well cos I am sharing with my kiddo, and yes, the little one liked it. Had a side of dirty rice which could be a meal in itself.

We had the chocolate and peanut bar sundae bar and the cheesecake for dessert (just check their full listed dessert names in the menu) and I was so happy to see fresh berries and caramel bars that didn't come from a can or a packet. They gave us a complimentary Candy Floss Pavlova as someone is celebrating at our table which we really appreciated.

It's certainly expensive for a regular Juan but if you're indulging then this is the place to go.
