Thread: lather as post shave

I do this daily. After my final pass I use whatever left over lather in my brush/mug to wash my face before the cold water rinse. I really like it too.

Never thought of doing this...I usually have quite a bit of lather left over from my shave and will give it a try on my next shave.

Very good idea.
I will try it today with MWF.

Sounds like this is working out for many guys, which is great. But, as soap will clog pores, if any skin irritation occurs I'd discontinue the practice.
