1. would adding liquid glycerin or lanolin make a difference?
2. am I nuts for using this soap and should I move on to a better brand?

1. I would say if it is a glycerine soap you should be fine without adding more. If not look at #2.

2. I can't judge a soap I have never used. Fortunately there are thousands to choose from. Why not just get a few of the big ones everyone talks about to compare? MWF, Tabac, Proraso would be a good start. Honestly in the end it is up to personal preference and the one constant every straight shaver can agree on is there are never too many X worth having, where X is a variable that represents almost anything shave related.
