Very cool. This better explains why I gravitate toward tallow soaps since I have dry skin. Since I started using tallow based soap, my skin and I have been much happier.
Thats awesome! Glad you liked the post!

Sorry for the very late reply (havent seen this reply in a year), since your are normal or dry on the shaving parts, You would benefit from using a fatted tallow or simple tallow soaps.How would this theory apply to combination skin? My forehead and nose is oily while the parts I shave range between normal to dry.
I’m curious if it is drastic enough thang a person would need multiple types dependent on weather and climate. People living in dry or very cold conditions may need a more moisturizing soap compared to those in humid or temperate areas.
New York 2 weeks ago- was that during the cold snap? I'm not surprised you felt drastic changes to your face, LOL.That's actually a very good point you made! For example, I was at NYC 2 weeks ago and my face felt even dryer than usual, probably since my face is used to 90F Weather here in Puerto Rico. I had to use much more aftershave lotion during the day, to combat the dryness I had while in New York.

At a guess, I'm thinking that they're trying to widen their appeal to consumers, since a relatively high number of people seem to have irritation issues with lanolin. Also, as someone with a tub of pure lanolin, I suspect it is detrimental to every quality in shave soap except the post shave. It's thick and heavy like Vaseline, and seems pretty insoluble to boot.I need to try the new formula used in barrister reserve and CRSW Glide, weird enough both have decided to go without lanolin for these formulas,
