Ahh, I totally shave my legs with conditioner! Mostly because I always use up my shampoo faster than my conditioner, but it works! Smooooth legs, and it helps with the balance.

That's good to know! Occasionally we have a fruit fly situation here. I'll give it a go the next time one springs up. I washed my drier lint filter the same day I posted this. It's true that if you use or have ever used drier sheets, they seem to leave a film. (I ran a bit of water onto the filter and it just puddled there.) I used a soft brush and a drop of clothes washing detergent to clean it. After I rinsed it off, it looked like new and the water ran right through. The next load in the drier SEEMED to dry easier--meaning all the items were dry and no additional minutes were needed. Even if it the outcome was all my imagination, it certainly made me feel better to have a CLEAN filter! ;)
