Thanked: 69evil lanolin...
just finished a shave and i used a soap that works good for me *(mastershake is the creator... eucalyptus and something or other but it smells great and works awesome)...... anyway... i have used this soap with great success several times.......
this time however... i was down to the very last scraps of the soap so i put ~6 drops of lanolin in to make it stretch..........
bad idea........
i have so many weepers now i look like marv from sin city..... has anyone else had this problem??
i don't think i will be adding it to any of my soaps anymore......
my face hurts....

Thanked: 1195Six drops sounds excessive, whether its lanolin, glycerin, whatever. You likely killed your lather, leading to the scraping and bleeding - in other words you didn't get the protection you're used to. Before scrapping the lanolin altogether dial it down a bit and see if there's improvement.

Way too much lanolin. If I use too much, my face gets sticky and the razor sticks, use more pressure to get it to move, recipe for disaster. My lanolin is thick and I find if I use more than the size of a BB, then I can have problems. Just a suggestion, keep those razors coming...
