Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

Clearly you just don'r get it. Yes, I did find the post offensive; it's not your business to tell me or anyone else to not bloom their soap. This isn't a contest to see who lathers the best, easiest or without bloom. We are hear to enjoy our shaves and every time someone tells another person they should not bloom, all you are doing is casting shade on another persons shave and discouraging them. That's just bad form. For your information I don't use soaps that are hard to lather, all my soaps are of the easiest to lather but your comment shows me you have no idea how involved a disability can be.

Sheesh,, There Is Just A Little Misunderstanding Going On Here,, Really If You 2 Were Face Too Face It Would All Be Good, 32T Has Always Been A Pretty Easy Going Guy,, But Some Times The Web Comes Across A Little Harsh,, But I,m Sure He Ment No Harm By His Comments,, Ty

This is my original post.

"If I had to bloom a soap for it to work I wouldn't use it."

I didn't tell you not to do it.

You assume I don't have arthritis.....

I'm sorry for being harsh. This has been a pet peeve since I started wet shaving. I have been demeaned more times than I can count for not being able to work my soap without blooming it first. I'm a bit sensitive about the matter and it brings out the worst in me. Sorry to be a drag, but it really doesn't matter if someone blooms or not. However, on this and the other boards I'm on, if you mention that you bloom you get a response not dissimilar to yours. Someone who doesn't bloom just has to make a negative comment, why? Why, especially since I'm sure 50% bloom and 50% don't, blooming neither makes you a poor latherer nor a lesser person. I'm sure you can appreciate this, and in terms of arthritis, I hope you don't have it. I have only 3 good strong fingers on my right hand and it is not only very painful but it limits everything I can do with my hands. Blooming is a lifesaver for me, or it is back to canned goop.

I,m A bit Sensitive To The Matter And It Brings Out The Worst In Me,, "I Noticed" Bloom It Is, If It Works For You Just Do It,, Really I Dont See Any Hard Feelings Here!! For Heavens Sake Its Soap!!! Lather Up Shave On,, Ty

So everyone knows, I'm sick and tired of this don't bloom/bloom bias, there are reasons people need or chose do things differently and if someone blooms, they don't need to be demeaned by other soap freaks. Please have a nice day.

Ssssh, just imagine the uproar if you said you wore socks to bed or that you still wIt up to see ol' saint Nick :-)

Wait.............doesn't everyone still wait up to see St Nick?
