I think it depends on the gentleman. Personally, I make sure that my face is well hydrated and warm before applying lather. Sometimes this includes washing it and at other times it also entails a hot towel. I do believe that if one creates quality lather that it will not matter whether the 'natural' oils have been washed away or not.
