Correct me if I'm wrong - I've taken the definition of blooming/sousing to be; applying water to a soap puck and allowing an unspecified period of time to elapse so as to soften the surface and facilitate loading This isn't to be confused with molesting a soap. That is a broader category of actions. It isn't limited to, but might include - Adding AS to an unscented or scent faded vintage soap, mixing two or more different soaps with the combined lather being better than the separate components, or doing stuff to canned shaving cream like adding water or attempting to reduce the volume by knocking out the propellant through use of a bowl and brush. I'm both a Bloomer/Souser & a Soap Molester! (Maybe I shouldn't have said that in this thread? Doh!)
Adding scent is generally not molesting. You are however a blooming soap molester.... But a likeable feller none the lessm
Make no mistake..... Adding water to soap to make it wet for a lather has nothing to do with opening a sandwich to see what is inside only to have the lunch meat LOOKING BACK at you!
True that! Exactly. Consider joining S.B.O.A. I can send you an application...just ask @Paul Turner how his shaving life has turned around for the better, ever since he received his certificate.
Actually, let me tell you how it went down-I'd been soap blooming for quite a while, thinking "There should be an HONOR for this thing!". Then I noticed the title of S,.B.O.A. and realized "Hey, there it is I'm good for a certificate". Primo bestowed the thing on me.
I'll consider myself a Provisional Member. Ought to attend a couple meetings of the club and see what kind of cookies y'all serve. Do I have to do all twelve steps?
If a quorum shows up at The Meeting an officer can introduce a proposal to open the organization to members worldwide.
We must decide on how many attendees make a quorum. I can say I am definitely not a soap-molester. That is a fact. That is one where blooming doesn't do it. This is corny, but you asked for it: I'm a bloomer I'm a souser I'm a Soap Molester I play my music in the su-uuun (Steve Miller: The Joker)
Congrats @Edison Carter, it's nice to see SOMEONE getting some respect around here -- I get no respect at all - When I was a kid, I lost my parents at the beach. I asked a lifeguard to help me find them. He said "I don't know kid, there are so many places they could hide".
It was particularly mean of them to send you to school in the morning and then move away by lunchtime. But, I guess "yous gotta do what yous gotta do."
