Thread: What can I learn from soap/cream on the blade?

I would not read too much into it.

Firstly, it depends on the soap or cream, as not all rinse off the same way.

Secondly, I could rinse an evenly distributed lather off a butter knife as quickly as off my sharpest razor and it would tell me precious little about the edge or the quality of the shave.


As a flying instructor early on commented on my attempts to fly a 727 strictly by the numbers: "At the end of the day, it's not an exact science."

I look to see that there are little black hairs in the lather on the blade and not much blood!
