I have started doing that with quite a few soaps. It just seems to leave my face nice and soft, especially with my current line up of soaps that leave everything nice and moisturized. I will admit, I don't do it with Arko, which is a bit drying for me.
Patrick, I'm sorry to hear this sad news. Clearly, she gave you lots of joy, and I know she loved the joy SHE got.
SOTD 01/03/20 I received a Gibbs #15 Adjustable in trade for a Gillette Tuckaway from a French friend yesterday, and just had to shave with it today. As the owner of a #17 Gibbs and a Rex Ambassador, based on the earlier design, I discovered that the shave was identical to the #17 Gibbs. At setting 6 I received an extremely close BBS on my face. I dialed down to 4 for the noggin and cleared away my stubble effortlessly for a good DFS dome shave. I used my PAA Cube for face and dome lathering, and it provided a decent protective lather, although not quite as creamy or thick as my trusty MWF. I feel clean, cool and refreshed. RAZOR: Gibbs #15 Adjustable BLADE: Suneko customized for razor PREP: Cold water rinse BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger SOAP: PAA Charcoal-Menthol Preshave POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Old Spice Fresh Lime
Might be a no-shave day. Impromptu play date at the trampoline park has developed for Wilson and one of his school buddies. He's crazy excited!
