Great stuff, So glad you tried. Like you I definitely prefer the soap, but like you also I think it was worth a try. :)

Wow I guess another application, using oil just to touch up at work really would be mess free, no lather or hot water really needed a few drops of oil and away you go…. great thanks for sharing..
