Salux body polish cloth + bar soap or body wash, whatever's on sale.

Didn't know how to vote b/c Salux is a long cloth, but is rough like a loofah. I love it.

Japanese ex got me into these things in early 2000, never looked back.

My wife is Korean and she uses that thing. I can't bear it. As someone correctly mentioned earlier, black people do, in fact, use wash cloths, but I recently switched to one of those puff things because it saves soap...and I'm a race-traitor.

I strip slowly, the cool tiles against my bare feet,with the pale morning sunlight streaming in through the window. When I finish disrobing, I step under the water and gasp as the not-too-warm and not-too-cold temperature shocks me out of my haze. The hard bar of soap feels good in my hand I think, as I work the suds into a rich, thick lather, cascading down my chiseled and toned pectorals. My lattismi dorsi are perfect specimens I continue, enjoying my rather elongated Pleasure Tube, that even with substantial shrinkage, still makes women blush with the anticipation of pure pleasure at first sight....

Heheh, true. Asians must have some tough ass skin, because my white ass leaves the shower beet red after using this sometimes. Still though, it's a level of clean I've never felt before. This thing rocks.

Yeah. Actually they are more abrasive than those pansy ass loofahs.

They're not too far from a brillo pad but it does feel good after stepping out of the shower. Its also the only way I've found to effectively wash my own back.

I'm surprised to see that so many people use a loofah since they are an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. This might require a poll of its own, but how often do you replace it?

Hrm that's a tough one. Ebay, Amazon online. Locally, if you have a China-town, I'd go there. I got mine at the Asian section of a Fiesta Mart believe it or not.

Don't know, I honestly don't 'get' the loofah. It's not like you can build a good lather with that thing, and compared to a Salux, it's not even that 'scrubby'.
