Since everyone is doing a slurry-lather, I tried as well. 5 swirls, and then to the face. I got a slight tingle, but no burn as with a full face lather. We'll see how the dryness develops.
Have a good evening!
I can't wait until AA is over and you can use a soap that doesn't burn.
I will leave behind most of the gear (soap and razor) at my parents' place tomorrow, and only continue with the brush and the blade. No more frag burn from tomorrow on 😎
Excellent!
Welcome to the slurry lather club. Are you getting frag burn?
It's better than normal face-lathering, but still worse than bowl-lathering. I think it might become worse with further exposure.
