Wash or pat dry?

But of a silly question this. Yesterday I had my haircut at the usual barbers. I take a straight, brush and soap in, as he likes doing my neck and sideburns with the stuff and I like the stuff.

Anyway used TR Olibanum yesterday and where I wash my face thoroughly after a shave to remove any cream etc, the barber dabbed the area dry. I could smell the Olibanum all the way home. So do you wash or dab dry? I always wash as otherwise the skin can become tight or itchy? But having the scent linger is a bonus.
 
Rinse gently with lukewarm water with a dash of malt vinegar in it ( to restore the PH factor ) and gently pat dry with a soft terrycloth towel. But I have troublesome skin which can easily flare up.

Neither.

I dry my hands on a towel then wipe the water off my face. By the time I have cleaned up, my face is dry enough for a balm or AS splash.
 
Seems it's as simple as a wash and dry, I thought that dabbing the soapy water would cause some kind of irritation, strangely it didn't. Perhaps it will with a heavy fragranced soap.

Cold water rinse and pat for me

Another vote here.

I don't believe in the blurb about cold water "closing pores", I do it simply because it feels refreshing. I used to get that refreshing sensation using alcohol splashes but they are now out due to skin flare ups.
