After reading some rave reviews, I decided to make my first investment in shaving soap TGQ's Lemon Verbena and Oak Moss. What I didn't realize was that they contain goat's milk... which is a bit of a problem considering I'm anaphylactic to dairy products.
I create this rich, beautiful lather and start applying it to my face.... halfway through my lips start tingling. Not thinking much of it, I grabbed a towel and took the lather off my lips. It wasn't until I finished that I realized that the soap had goat's milk in it... bah! It was such a nice shave though!
That said, I also realize that it was my fault for not checking. I know that a lot of bath products contain various forms of milk to help soften the skin, I just didn't connect the dots between bath soap and shaving soap. Oh well, looks like no more Oak Moss for me.
That said, my Dad is just getting into wetshaving himself. Looks like I can surprise him with a little gift!
