I like to use a bath bar that is body soap and shampoo in one bar. Aveda makes such a bar but it is very expensive but very good. Right now I travel with a bar of soap and a shampoo bar made by Lush but would like it in one bar. Any suggestions??

I'd pop for the Aveda one or do without.

A lot of soaps get the job done. It sounds really hippyish, but Dr. Bronner's bar soaps work well as my regular shampoo and soap and don't leave sticky soap residue. I also like how they don't leave a thick, perfumey smell.
Glycerin soaps generally make terrible shampoo. Burt's Bees makes a shampoo bar that is astonishingly sticky for something that's designed for the purpose. If you like the Aveda bar, take it!

I've used Dr. Bronner's also -- my husband said he needed a conditioner, so I found some conditioner sheets like those tiny soap sheets, and he said that did the trick for him.

My hair is falling out, and what's left of it I keep short and I use any ordinary bar soap.

I always take the round bar of Lush shampoo with me to Europe (it comes in it's own little round metal dish), and use it for shampooing, showering and laundry duties - it's great for all three and lasts for a long time.

John,
I have used and gifted this combo from a local (MD) company called Fernwood.

I have had great luck using their product on the road. Like most soaps, it does get squishy after being in a soap dish closed up if you are traveling frequently....
Good luck.
