I am using lanolin in my shaving soap and I like it a lot.
Last time I added very little, half a tea spoon in 1kgr of soap. This because I am afraid it may cut down the lather.
How much could I raise lanolin percentage without affecting seriously the lather?

What is approximatelly the percentage of lanolin in Mitchell’s wool fat soap?

Thank you.
 
MWF has very little lanolin and I don't think you need a lot anyway. Did you add this to the lye calculation or added it at trace?
 
Thank you Dimitri. I add it at trace.

I know MWF has a low percentage of lanolin, but how much?

I also used very little for that reason. But since the lather is great I am thinking of doubling lanolin to 1 full teaspoon next time.
