Do you run the water while soaping up in the shower? (self.asklemmy)

How do you soap up without water? You just scrape dry soap all over your body?

[–] hardaysknight 10 points 5 months ago

You get your hands/wash cloth and body wet before you turn off the water to lather up

Get wet, lather up, rinse off. A large part of Asia uses something that looks like a saucepan, made of plastic.

Most people use liquid shower gel.

Basically unusable with our water. It just won't wash off. Bar soap doesn't have such problem.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have the opposite problem. Bar soap leaves me with a sticky residue that, ironically, doesn't wash off easily and leaves me feeling grosser than when I started the shower. I think skin type may be a factor.

The problem could also be your water.
