Thanked: 40I live in Phoenix (I am a U of A alum), and I have the same issues with soap drying out. For some soaps, using more water helps keep the soap from drying out too quickly. Also, making sure that you face is a little moist before applying the soap (by either swirling a wet brush on your face or just splashing it with water) keeps the soap from drying out. In particular, I find that splashing a little water on the face between passes improves the 2nd pass quite a bit. The issue with the second pass and the dry climate is that the soap in the brush or bowl dries out between passes, so if you apply such lather without adding more water, you will get a drier soap on the 2nd pass than on the 1st pass.
You might also find that shaving immediately after a shower can help as the shower can increase the humidity in the air for a bit.
