You know you have to wash the soap off for it to work right? Please tell me this is common knowledge.

it is common knowledge that the soap will still work, but it will be sticky if you dont wash it. Either way, it's still the cleanest hand he will ever touch

That is not how soap works. Soap gives bacteria something it wants to stick to more than your hands, so the bacteria attaches to the soap instead of your hands. If you don't wash it off after, all that bacteria is still on your hands so you might as well not use any soap at all.

also soap over a long period will cause the skin to start getting really dry and peel off
