soapalchemist said:I've never heard of this before. As has been pointed out, if you have an irritated reaction to an ingredient the usual reaction would be redness not whiteness. It's true some men can have a certain pallor after shaving, but I would put that down to exfoliation and a hint of dark beard growth.
Unless you use fake tan on your arm, and leaving soap on it for a long time in one spot has washed it off?
Try this test everyone.
In the morning when you shave put a blob of shaving soap/cream/lather on the inside of your arm then when you've finished shaving wash it off. See if it has left a pale mark.
For me normal hand bar soap leaves no mark; proper shaving soap does!?

Tried the test with Vitos soap this morning and nothing.
My only though is could there be menthol in the soap you are using?

There's no mention of menthol in the Speick I've used; don't know about the ingredients in the Gillette blue bowl.
Cheers.
