I like soap - I buy a lot and have a particular fondness for Marseille soaps, although I will also happily use Imperial Leather and have just sliced a chunk off a big lump of proper Aleppo soap (more than 3 years old post-curing and lovely and green inside).
I also like the Japanese approach of showering before bathing - I can see the logic of not wanting to sit in your own soup
After that rambling preamble, I have a question Paul. Are you sure it's the Savon Noir and kessa that's working its magic and not just the weather and your other life changes? I ask because, after a winter of central heating, cold weather and so-so shaves, come the warmer weather I can pull out my most drying soap, most aggressive razor/blade combo and shave with impunity. There's now't like a bit of sun and natural heat.
You also have soft water and, although I know Savon Noir isn't made to lather, I wonder how the whole process would fare with hard water.
Thoughts welcome
