I have a bunch of shaving towels and find now that I just rinse. I bet I rinse 4 times per full face pass. I do three passes. Now if when I rinse I find the stuff didn't come off the edge fully then I wipe on the towel that is in my hand. I bet I use the towel more for cleaning up the sink and counter-top more than anything else. And to scrub out the sink with Comet once a week.
