    Default Caffinated shave soap

    I got a cake of caffinated soap in a batch of random pack from Ebite (before I bumped into Colleen), Ive been wondering how much this stuff helps wake me up. Or if anyone else has tried these gimiks?

    I tried a search and didn't find anything (may be spelling it wrong... suprise). If there is something posted already could someone link it thanks.

    Umm, probably only works if you cut yourself!

    at the risk of sounding way to metro for this place... ...I have some eye cream that has caffeine in it. The caffeine is supposed to increase blood flow to the skin, and reduce puffy eyes. After having it on for 30 min I can bareley see, but I have no idea if this is caffeine or not.

    You could use coffee or tea in place of water to make your lather with any soap rather than buying a special caffinated one.

    How about some Starbucks aftershave. Or rub some coffee grounds into your cheeks. Probably a good exfoliant.

    I heard 'em yappin about caffinated soap on the radio a month or two ago, aparently caffine can be absorbed through the skin. Showering with said soap was said to have the effect of a cup of coffee, or was it two? At any rate, why not just drink a cup of coffee? Is our society that lazy that we cannot even take the time to enjoy our addictions?

    I don't drink coffee and I like tea but it's slow at getting me going. I didn't go out and buy this, it was in a random assortment. It has no noticeable scent really. Was currious if anything was known about it.

    I don't think he was hollering at you! The way I read it was just commentary on popular present day society!
