There are so many tipes of clay. Are you sure all aren't ok into a shaving soap receipe? For exemple white clay goes on sensitive skin. The green one is great for the oily skin...The red, pink and violet clay have others indications...If you are using green clay on sensitive or dry skin, for sure ain't help
Sorry for my english :">
Also... a soap high in cocoa butter will oxidize. Some component of the butter that isn't involved in saponification turns VERY VERY brown when left out. I have some cocoa butter soap that is the color of a deep brown leather sofa... that was white when it was made.

Does the oxidation affect the lathering?
A strange one this as I've not had this problem. These days I tend to add 0.1% BHT and 0.1% Tetrasodium EDTA to all shaving and bath soap I make to stop any chance of this happening but even before I did this, I never had a problem with soap high in cocoa butter turning brown (on the other hand, some bath soaps I made which were high in olive oil were another story.... yuck!).
