I mixed one puck of van der hagen deluxe soap with one table spoon of anhydrous pure lanolin. Microwaved into my shave bowl and let harden.
I use a shaving bowl and had to load the brush two times instead of one to make lather. The lather was very thick, clinging to the side of the bowl.
I use a 39C Merkur barber pole and the shave was excellent and very slick, with very little drag. I have a heavy beard.
My face feels very soft after the shave, much better than the van der hagen deluxe felt before the lanolin was added.
