To Rinse or Not To Rinse- That is the Question.
I just watched a brand new video by Michael Freedberg. He was evaluating a new shaving cream by Wholly Kaw that is still in development. The new cream is designed to provide a high level of skin conditioning. Rather than rinsing off remaining lather as he normally would, Michael followed instructions provided by Sri of WK and applied the remaining lather in the brush to his face and then removed the excess by patting with a dry towel without rinsing. That left a layer of cream on his face as you might use a shave balm.
I have never had a full barber shave, but after shaving my neck the barber removes the excess lather with a towel without any rinsing.
So the question is:
After you shave do you rinse, or do you just dry your face with a towel? If you just dry with a towel, what benefits do you see?
I have normally rinsed by patting my face with a wet microfiber cloth. What do others do?
