I conducted a small experiment - didn't shave for about 10 days "hoping" my return to bad skin would be helped by not shaving. It was mildly successful but the best part was the screaming shock the 10 days growth fled from the freshly honed 6/8" Invicta Supreme. Naturally no clogging, no 2 passes and a very pleasant DFS. Even though it is currently 38.8c here in Adelaide I lathered and then applied a hot towel a couple of times, rinsed and then applied fresh lather. I'm really liking my latest soap, especially for straight shaving. Can be wet but not whimpy.
