This dispenser<\/a> is great for Dr. Bronner’s magic soap<\/a>; you put in a little bit of liquid soap and a lot of water, and the dispenser produces a nice foamy lather that doesn’t, at least not yet, clog.\u00a0 I’ve used and loved Dr. Bronner’s soap for years; it’s a camping staple and is credited with a very wide range of uses<\/a>, from curing warts to cleaning the house to teeth brushing. I can’t speak for the warts but I’ve brushed my teeth with it in a pinch and use it daily as my shaving soap.<\/p>\n

Out of the bottle the soap is really concentrated, though, and it tends to clog up other dispensers.\u00a0 So I was glad to find this dispenser; for handwashing duty, this combination of foaming dispenser + Dr. Bronner’s works well in my family’s bathroom.\u00a0 I get the soap at Trader Joe’s, but it should be available at any health food store, and probably Whole Foods too.<\/p>\n

But who, you might ask, is Dr. Bronner<\/a>?\u00a0 Well:<\/p>\n

He has quite a life story,<\/a> and a documentary, Magic Soapbox<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> about that life.\u00a0 But the clip above, with the good doctor in full throat, is from a terrible Jimi Hendrix movie, Rainbow Bridge<\/a><\/em>, filmed in Hawaii two months before Jimi’s death:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I forget why Dr. Bronner was there; the story around the Hendrix concert, which takes up way too much time in the movie, is very convoluted but involves a hippy transendentalist\/back-to-nature cult that for some reason took over a beautiful old plantation estate in upcountry Maui. That estate, designed by CW Dickey<\/a>, is now Seabury Hall<\/a>, the high school my wife attended.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap is also famous for its label<\/a> [.pdf], which is packed full of the good doctor’s, um, sayings.\u00a0 You can see for yourself at the handy-dandy Dr.\u00a0Bronner’s Magic\u00a0Quote-o-matic generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n
