Why do bristles stick to the hand-basin?
I shave each morning, applying orinary soap to my face, then 
scrape the mixture off with a safety razor. I rinse the razor in 
about one inch of hot water in the basin, then pull the plug. 
The water drains at its own rate, and I notice later on that my 
chin bristles are stuck to the basin. They remove easily with 
running water and a swipe of the hand or cloth.
My puzzle arises from the fact that I thought that soap was a 
wetting agent, and that the bristles ought to be attached to soap 
which attaches to water, and hence rinses down the drain.
Why would soap "stick" to the porcelain basin? My chin isn't that 
greasy. What is it that causes these bristles to stick to the 
basin?
