Thread: Best lather ever (IMHO)!!!

after reading this post I looked through the house and could not find any lanolin.
I did find a huge jar of coconut oil so I decided to mix that with Real Shaving Co moisturizing cream. Holy Cow was a lather.
Thanks for the inspiration chef.

nice experiment, im gonna try this and see what it does for me,

Coconut oil is commonly used in shave soaps to stabilize the lather. Some people find it irritating on their skin.

I believe I had read another post where you recommended Lansinoh as a post-shave treatment. My wife is a breastfeeding mother so we have a lot of that stuff lying around (she doesn't really use it anymore). I thought about doing this very same thing, but forgot to. Now, I'm anxiously awaiting my morning shave to give it a try. Thanks for the post!

If you like Lanolin, Try MWF with Musgo Real, and 5 drops of Glycerin. Lanolin Overload.

Isn't shea butter meant to be good stuff too?

Coconut oil is added for a bubbly lather. The type of lather it produces is that of the typical bath soap (i.e not stable). If you find coconut oil to irritate your skin, it should not do so in a soap because the oil has been saponified. Unless the soaper superfats with coconut oil, there is none remaining in the final product. The coconut oil has been changed to a salt via a chemical reaction with lye.

Yep, lanolin is good stuff! Give Mitchells Wool Fat a try as well, thats a great soap.
