I just used glycerine for the first time this morning and it added a whole new level to my shave. I use the SRD frankencense which is a good soap even without the added glycerine. When I added three drops to the soap, I had more lather than I knew what to do with. Tomorrow I think I will try two drops and experiment until I find the perfect amount of water, soap and glycerine.
One benefit I noticed immediately was how much smoother shaving was. It felt like my blade had been sharpened to a perfect edge. For anyone who wants to pick some glycerine it can be found at the Wal Mart Pharmacy area in the anit-itch medication. I think I paid three or four dollars for a six ounce bottle. I am definitley not ready for a gallon.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this thread.
Two drops with the SRD Shaving Soap seems to be about right. It made such a smooth and full lather that I think I could have shaved with a hunting knife. I am still amazed by all the information that is available here at SRP. It is little bits of information like the information regarding glycerine that makes shaving interesting and less of a chore.
Thanks again for the all the help and information.
DCasper is right. A small bottle is available at practically any pharmacy. If you use a few drops it should last a long time.
