Well, here's another one of my strange ideas that I've noticed in my travels..

Has anyone else noticed that soaps and creams seen to improve if left to just sit for a minute of two after beating into a lather? I works for aggregates, where it's called slake time, and i can understand what's happening there... allowing a little time for all the dry components of cement, grout etc. to become thoroughly wetted. I can't imagine why this action would be needed for soaps and creams, but i've proven this to myself repeatedly...

Anyone else, or is this just another indication that I see things differently from the mainstream?

No problem with that really, as I've made a life's work out of it... I often don't follow prescribed dogmas.. So much so that I often feel like a salmon fighting it's way upstream!

All thoughts are welcome... Even those that may prove me wrong!
