Shave soap & residual slickness

[user 28270]

My current recipe is mainly stearic, tallow and coconut oil. Using Shea, almond oil and lanolin at low percentages. Glycerin is 15%. 70/30 duel lye.
Overall, I think the soap performs well, but it’s lacking the residual slickness that I get with some other shaving soaps I’ve tried.
Any ideas on how to increase the residual slickness?

What are the proportions of each ingredient?

Off the top of my head, maybe ditch the lanolin? I haven't tried it in shave soap, but I have tinkered with it in nail/cuticle balms and noticed that it makes a stickier balm. I wonder if it is doing the same thing in your shave soap - making it sticky and overriding the "slick" factor?

I agree with amd. Maybe the lanolin. I don’t use it in my shave soap. I’m sure others that have made way more than me will pipe in.

The lanolin is 2% added with 3% shea butter as the SF.

I'm fine dropping the lanolin. I added it in since it was part of the ingredients for a commercial soap I have (Stirling).
