I've often been tempted to ask the same question. I do it like you do. Wash with it thoroughly, rinse with the hot flannel, then apply a little more soap to benefit from the slickness and face lather over it. Great minds, probably...
It certainly doesn’t do that. It actually lathers pretty well on its own!I don’t use pre shave anything these days although i have and if the feeling takes me i might do it again just so i can buy another product lol
When i have used the pears iv washed it off or certainly gave my face a rinse.
in the past iv felt that some of the pre shaves i had stopped my soap from lathering properly,
Funny I kind of assumed everyone did anyway. Not sure why, cos everyone does it differently but in my head that's just the standard prep. I guess there's no such thing but it works for me, and presumably OS.
Does it work well?I've started to leave a little on at times. A very thin film that I just lather over. I've always assumed the longer I kept the preshave treatment on the more it was hydrating and softening my whiskers.
Oddly enough, I sometimes just shave with the Pears, but that is a different story
Pears is very slick, and it didn't dry on my face in between passes like some non-shaving soaps do, so it stayed protective enough to keep me feeling safe. I won't claim I'd do it regularly, but I certainly wouldn't feel scared to try it again.Does it work well?
I plan on trying it...

Yes I did the same experiment and reached the same conclusion. It's slick enough that you can get away with it at a pinch, but nobody is going to start ditching their favourite shave soaps for a one-stop Pears pre-and-shave every day. It works but it's not as good as using it for pre and using proper shave soap for the actual shave.
Agreed. It was more of a 'hmmm, I could safely use this if forced to' type thing. Since part of the fun of wet-shaving for me is the enjoyment of the actual products and not costs or ease of use, I don't see the joy of using Pears for anything but a pre-shave unless I get the wild urge to do something outside the norm just to do it.Yes I did the same experiment and reached the same conclusion.
