    I remember watching a black comedian many years ago and his bit started “Why don’t white people use washcloths?”, and it got me thinking. I started using washcloths and noticed I came away cleaner, soap on a hand doesn’t cut the skin oils and dirt like soap and gentle abrasion can. I also noticed, because I’m hairy, that I get lots of ingrown hairs, especially on my legs. Switched to one of those “poofs” and now I vigorously scrub my hairy bits and no ingrown hairs. Exfoliating helps.

    Use a washcloth and don’t forget to brush your tongue, you filthy animal.

      How can you tell that you “come out cleaner”? I don’t exactly have motor oil all over my body or anything when I shower.
