Mr Bassett's Grappler's Soap - The Best Soap In The Game
When this soap first caught my eye on social media, I didn’t pay it too much attention. I have always had very sensitive skin, so soap was always a no go for me. As it would make my skin feel uncomfortable and dry beyond belief.
I noticed that all the general soaps on the market tend to have a long string of 20 syllable chemical names on the box, that takes a long google session and a PHD in chemistry to understand what you’re applying to your skin on a daily basis.
So I decided to do some snooping and investigate this product that kept popping up on my Instagram feed. I had a look at the website and what I found was very encouraging.
Mr. Bassett’s Grappler’s Soap is a product developed by an MMA fighter from Cornwall, UK (Mr. Bassett himself). It’s tailored to the needs of martial artists. But more specifically for those in grappling sports, where the chance of picking up nasty bacterial or fungal infections is higher due to the close quarters nature of the activity.
My Experience
Upon inspection I liked what the company was about and decided to see why they have a 4.9/5 star rating on Trustpilot, and sample the stuff for myself.
The bar arrived within a day or two of ordering. The first thing that I noticed was the personal touch of the handwritten note and branded stickers that come with every purchase which I thought was pretty cool. Then when I pulled the bar out, the smell was so good! Given that infection-fighting soaps usually give off real chemical base aromas, this was quite the opposite.
Also the timing of my purchase almost seemed too good to be true as a day before I received the soap I contracted a skin infection on my feet and ankles. It was incredibly itchy and necessitated many visits to the hospital and GP for treatment. Needless to say the soap was the only thing that would provide me with some form of respite from the desire to scratch away. Which made going about my day-today activities more bearable.
Not only did it help with the reduction of this infection, but it left the rest of my skin feeling clean. All without the usual soap feel of stripping away moisture from my skin.
Conclusion
If you partake in grappling sports especially, then having something as good as this in your bag is a must. It will end any worries of picking up any nasties from the mats. And even if you don’t roll I’d still recommend you give this stuff a try. It smells great, leaves you feeling fresh and clean, and it’s not affected by liquid limits for hand luggage. I wont be travelling without it from now on.
