I have MdC unscented. It used to work fine for me. Now I get a red, blotchy rash and severe irritation every time I use it. This does not happen to me with Mike's, Strop Shoppe, Barrister & Mann or QCS unscented soaps. Nothing is different with my routine when I use MdC: same razor, blades and brushes as I use every day.
Today my face looks awful. This happens every time I use MdC now. I can't explain it. Since it's the unscented that I use, I know it's not a problem with fragrance oils.
I loaded enough soap and used enough water. My lather was picture-perfect. So it's not a matter of bad lather causing a poor shave.
I do have very sensitive skin and bad allergies. Perhaps I've developed a sensitivity to the amount of coconut acid in the soap. I know that some soap makers like Michelle from Mystic Waters avoid coconut oil / acid in their soaps for sensitive skin.
Has anyone else experienced a problem with getting a rash from MdC?
I know that MdC works fine for most everyone who uses it. This won't be the first time that a product which most everyone likes doesn't work for me.
Any theories about what might be causing the problems?
