I love col conk bay rum. I actually found that using too much water was my problem at first....

I too was finding the suds drying out on my face, but it was because the mixture was way too thin. I dialed back the water waaayyy back and found the right ratio that gets the soap to explode into nice creamy lather, the consistancy of mayoniase. When it is nice and thick, it does not dry out.
