Fair do's it's funny how we fall into certain things, but find that they work for us, even though they don't seem to make logical sense! On the subject of coal tar though, this article is a little worrying! Not sure I'd want to use it; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...o-HAS-trusted-skin-treatment-disappeared.htmlPerfectly good point Looney - it might be an unnecessary step, and I wouldn't do it with ordinary soap...I just added it with my usual rinse to get rid of the shaving soap remnants and because of it's antiseptic properties. My thinking was that, while the shaving/exfoliation process removes dirt etc, it also makes the skin more susceptible to infection, particularly with minor cuts/nicks; that's one of the main purposes of AS splash: to close the pores and provide an antiseptic. But splash can be hit and miss. After I used the CT soap once, it felt really great, so I just kept in my 'ritual'. I don't do it every time, but I miss out that step, I do notice a difference

EDIT: Just looked at the specific soap you mentioned and due to the EU directive stated in the article, the soap you use doesn't even have Coal Tar in it, it is just scented to smell like coal tar...
They use tea tree oil and coal tar fragrance (real coal tar soap is now banned in the EU)..however i have bought and used an original version from Russia and i have to be honest it made my face look like a Baboons arse with major sun burn!..i still use the modern version, as Tea tree oil is still a good antiseptic,plus kind to my skin and it doesn't smell like ten year old Creosote that has past it's sell buy date, like the Russian version.Fair do's it's funny how we fall into certain things, but find that they work for us, even though they don't seem to make logical sense!

Confirmation on the Tea Tree oil!They use tea tree oil and coal tar fragrance (real coal tar soap is now banned in the EU)..however i have bought and used an original version from Russia and i have to be honest it made my face look like a Baboons arse with major sun burn!..i still use the modern version, as Tea tree oil is still a good antiseptic,plus kind to my skin and it doesn't smell like ten year old Creosote that has past it's sell buy date, like the Russian version.
Both @Palmolive fox and @Greybeard it's like you had a connection there, you wrote nearly identical posts! The traditional old stuff doesn't sound especially nice, not sure I'd be wanting to try that. At least the new stuff is doing the job for you both
Lovely F type.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable shave even though I was still half asleep!
