Like everyone else has said, next to the band aids
It actually helps keep the skin nice and soft. It also makes the lather better in some way, I think it makes the lather more consistent and in general softer.

Does it stabilize the lather so it doesn't dry out so quickly. This was the purpose I bought it for. Or does it increase the lather. I just can't tell for sure.

Glycerin is used in soap making (for those who like home made soap) and I know glycerin soap is used by some people who has skin issues. I just didn't know what it does for soap. The soap I use is a glycerin based soap but does make a denser lather if I add glycerin to the lather I make. Originally Posted by bknesal

OK, next to the bandaids. I have not been able to find it. Perhaps my small desert city only has beer and cigarettes. I will look again.

Glycerin is not used in soap making, glycerin is produced by soap making. It can also be added to soap once it has been made. Originally Posted by MinniesMate

Today 11-05-09, I just bought a 6 oz. bottle of glycerin oil, at my local Rite-Aide and it was $4.99. My local Wal-Mart no longer stocks it. You have to special order it, for $7.49 for a 6 oz. bottle or a 16 oz. bottle for $19.99. STRAIGHT RAZOR 13.
