nah never mate.
plus when you throw a decent carve, the soap mixes with the water and the guys sitting on the shoulder get it in their eyes and have to return to shore.

i find the basic no frills/black and gold brand of soap works the ebst as it is the most potent and eye irritating.
try it out guys next time you are out of wax.
you wont regret it.
