    Default Fine washing soap

    I wash my face twice a day with fine home made soap, in the shower before shaving and in the shower at night before bed.
    Works.

    What do you mean, "Works"?

    Works for what, keeping your face clean?

    Hi Ben,
    Sorry if I didn't explain it clearly. When I said works, I meant that it has a positive effect, makes my skin feel better. Moreover, when the day is getting too long and you feel a bit tired, if you let really cold water on your face for one minute, it seeme to help you to stay awake.
    What coldest water mean for me? If you live in the warm Florida you will have to get it from the freezer. If you live in Maine, not.
    Regards.

    Ah, yes. Most of us here enjoy a bit of pampering! It goes in the face of the manly art of straight razor shaving, but there's no denying it. You only have to look at the contents of the shave dens!

    I like cold water in the summer (both months of it in England). The rest of the year i tend to shy away from it, despite it being a good thing after a shave!

    They ssay that here are only two seasons in England, winter and August the 5th.
    Just a joke. Beg your pardon.
    As you know, in Spain, summer is very long and, sometimes warm and really hot for weeks.
    I also run from cold water in winter, but not over my face. I even plan to dive my face into icy water for three minutes with a snorkel tube. This is not a joke.
    Be well, my friend.

    Is that what they say? Dammit! August 5th was terrible this year. I am partial to a faceful of snow after a shave, but that's usually just a few days in February.
    I envy your weather!

    Too warm and dry this autumn. Short sleeve today by mid day. Scaring for a country with the shadow of the lack of water on it for good. Pleasant, though.
    Regards.
