Thread: Face Washing

I use Dove soap. I wash and rinse my face twice and vigorously with hot water. I really lay into the whiskers. I received this Clinique face soap as a gift and it was great. Been meaning to buy more but haven't got around to it.

I also just use whatever soap I use for the rest. Conditioner seems to help soften up whiskers pretty well, especially if you're just grabbing a quick shower.

I've settled on using a dab of shower gel. I would use hair shampoo if I had no shower gel. My aim is to remove some oil to allow water to soak into the beard freely, but without drying the skin too much.

I've tried face scrub a few times and regretted it. Definitely doesn't work *for me*.

I use a face scrub once a week (no more than that because I have sensitive skin) and wash my face with a special soap made by Confiança, a portuguese brand, specificaly made to be used to clean the face before a shave. It is great. I highly recomend it. Confiança - Saboaria e Perfumaria

Just one further note on this soap: the brand Confiança means "trust" and the name of the soap is "o melhor" , meaning "the best"... quite a claim. This is among the finest things made in Portugal.

I may be thebigspendur but when it comes to washing my face before shaving any old soap will do just fine.

clearasil daily scrub works for me.
