Anyone ever use this stuff? I bought some the other day because it comes in small bottles & I can take it through airport security with no probs. Seems to work ok but the problem is how do you get the frikkin stuff off afterwards? Despite a good rinse, I'm sat here at my desk feeling like i've got a coating of chip fat all over my face.

It does the job, without knackering my face, so why not?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I usually use gel, but I've used soap before. With gel or foam you can see which bits you've done easier, but I'm not sure there's any real benefit over soap.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I use soap, lather up, leave it went and then put shave gel on top of it. It works a treat. If I get a bit of razor burn I'll then put on a bit of Nivea balm.
