In an earlier post, someone (possibly you?) mentioned the mwf and I thought they were talking about a pure lanolin product. I did not realize at the time that it was a shave soap (yes, I'm a noob). Now that I have learned the error of my ways, I am excited to try it out. I can't find a decent source anywhere locally. Online I see many different sizes available. I want to get the 100g or larger bar, but don't know how to "melt" it down to fit in my bowl without having water get under it. Can you offer some advice? I will, of course, add extra lanolin to it, 'cuz that's how I roll.
I think I read that you can grate it on a cheese grater and then hot-water bath it to finish the process. Is this correct? Can I just microwave the whole kit n kaboodle?
Also, I currently lather in the same bowl that my soap is in and was wondering if there were any thoughts on this technique. Should I procure another bowl for the express purpose of building the lather, or is the one-bowl technique perfectly acceptable?
Muchas Gracias senors. (y senoritas)
