OK boys, which takes the crown?
Shea butter goodness ala IK, or the creamy tallow and lanolin MWF?

When you say "moisturizing", what do you mean? In the ordinary sense of the word, water is quite moisturizing.
I suppose choice number three should have been " keep face submerged in bucket of water "
Moisturizing, as in giving one's face moisture....
In what way is any shaving soap more moisturizing that sticking one's head in a bucket of water? Please be a bit more specific. I really want to know what people mean when they say that a soap is "moisturizing".
As we head into the winter months you will be able to notice that water in and of itself can be the opposite of moisturizing. If you wash your hands, and don't dry them well the effect of the surface water evaporating into the dry air will leave you with dry, chapped hands. Thus, I contend that water, in and of itself, in many situations is not very moisturizing. This is also the purpose of soap for shaving, as the soap acts to help keep the water from evaporating off your face vis-a-vis the lather. A rumored side benefit of certain mythical shave soaps is that they also may impart longer lasting moisturing retention benefits to the skin long after the shave is done, which is what I'm trying to find out here.
