Crossword Genius

Soft soap or a facecloth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flannel

This clue is a double definition.

'soft soap' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a facecloth' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for flannel that I've seen before include "Cloth for washing face, or just flattery" , "short trousers" , "Bathroom item" , "something to wash with" , "Woven woollen fabric or flattery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
