    Fire off an email to their feedback portal.

    You can be sure to get the "we have carefully done our market research yada, yada, yada,.... blah, blah, blah" stuff in response too. I think the same group works at many large corporate organizations.

    Dry soapers win by default!

    The phrasing on this disturbs me. For some reason, I keep picturing some bizarre episode of CSI (or a slightly less bizarre episode of Criminal Minds).

    Isn't it called "wet shaving"? :signs002:
    "Dry soapers" reminds me of "Flat Earthers" :happy102:

    RyX DoH!

    It was a conversation who's time had come. While I have no beef with folks who rub the puck directly on their (wet) face or apply (moistened) brushes to soft soaps, getting your soap wet prior to loading is The Path to Decadent Lather. It's not for everyone. Some shavers choose to use the least product needed and I applaud their thriftiness. I & my fellow S.B.O.A members are the other end of pendulum's swing from these miserly, stingy latherers.

    Did I mention I also almost exclusively bowl lather?

    I do a little of all of it depending on the circumstances, the soap, and what I wanna do that day. I don’t bowl lather, but it’s outta preference-face lathering helps with a steel wool beard. For me, Williams and Mitchell’s work better without wetting them first, but most soaps lather best when their a little wet( in my opinion). I like wetting the puck and applying to my face like a shave stick most of all the wetter methods.

    I guess all this puts me somewhere on the fence and in the “silent majority”.

    Thank you for your time and remember to visit the “mild shavers thread”:);)

    The Vice-President of SBOA would like to think that New Spice's "Smell Like A Man" phrase replaced that of "Smellmitment". That would make this Veep show A LITTLE more respect for New Spice.

    When I revisit an older uncovered soap I usually run it under some water the night before I use it. This works for me.

    wchnu Duck Season!

    AMEN..
    :prrr:

    Your getting a little off track. What we are saying is there is no need to soak a cake of soap to get a good lather. The wet is in the brush.

    And @RyX there already are several no prep no blooming..really good lather and shave videos at my channel. Shaving with Fuzzy. Everyone is invited to see proper lather making technique.

    But you start with dry soap and whiskers!

    I'm pretty sure flat earthers use those orange throwaway razors and canned goo!!!
