Agree. Just this past weekend, my wife was like "why do you like those towels. they're so rough and old."

I said "baby...you know how you say my skin feels softer and smoother than yours. that's my secret." Then I winked and smiled.

Yup, someone is using fabric softener. NEVER use that crap, its wax-like and clogs the material. My dad is kinda a fabric expert for many, many decades and so....

Also, dry with medium heat.

I actually agree with this. I hate the super soft towels that don't dry!

I prefer towels to be both soft and dry me off but that’s me!

Don’t you guys use chamois leathers ?

Next best thing is to air dry.

Skin on skin talk is frowned upon at TRF.

Sorry but, small cap single exclamation mark reported!

Yeah, my favorite towels are my oldest ones, for the same reasons.

Mama prefers the new, fluffy ones, for the same reasons.

Completely agree. I drive my wife crazy when I do laundry, but towels that were washed in fabric softener feels like trying to dry with a large sheet of parchment paper. It does nothing. It just kind of mops it around.

Towels? What kind of sissy men are we dealing with here?

Key for towels is to never use fabric softener or dryer sheets. I stoped using fabric softener 5 years ago and my clothes feel so much better. Same for towels. 4-6 dryer or tennis balls helps avoid with static cling

Meh, either way it's all hair dryer, for the finish......

American cotton is far superior vs. imported, by the way!
