Chemists are more intelligent than biologists, Johnny; they have more mathematics to sort-out.I love hanging out with smart people Ben, just knew someone would know .

How come it was this comment that made me notice the benzene ring in your avatar?Almost certainly to some extent. Terpines as found in citrus fruits and their extracts can act as irritants for sure and drying agents as a result of surfactant characteristics, allowing oils and water to mix.
Slipped by me, too, and I've been sort of familiar with Benzedrine for years. Never once had a congested nose. Oh, wait. Benzene! Never mind.How come it was this comment that made me notice the benzene ring in your avatar?

Please excuse my extremely late reply @donnie_arko , I've spent a couple of weeks in hospital without access to Internet.Don't you mean La Toja in that list? I'd be intrigued in what soaps you can use.

I've had really bad reactions to Nivea Sensitive Shaving Cream and the Boots Shaving Stick. Minor reactions to some others including Body Shop Maca Root.
I hope you have fully recovered from whatever put you in the hospital for a couple of weeks. P.Please excuse my extremely late reply @donnie_arko , I've spent a couple of weeks in hospital without access to Internet.
I've also had a reaction to Maca Root, I forgot about that one. And oh yes, it's La Toja of course
Here are the soaps that do work well for me: any Valobra soap I've tried is top of the heap in my book (Valobra stick, discontinued Art of Shaving Sandalwood, Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge), followed by Cella, Acqua Di Parma cream, Nivea Originals 'the Poundland special' cream, and both Proraso Green and White.
I'm sure that there are many other soaps and creams that would not give me a reaction, but at a rejection rate of 3 out of every 4 that I've tried I'm somewhat reluctant to stray from what I find safe and therefore tend to keep it to this small rotation.
Also wishing you a speedy recovery.Please excuse my extremely late reply @donnie_arko , I've spent a couple of weeks in hospital without access to Internet.
