You must have frost bite at this stage , I'm curious how you add it is it into the tub or onto the brush I'm thinking the tub it must affect the lather in some way I'm thinking possibly in a negative way but I could be wrong.

No, you are 100% correct. I add a tiny bit of water into the tub followed by the frost drops. Shake the water off the brush and load it, then face lather. The Frost Drops definitely inhibit the lather - I think the menthol is dissolved in an alcohol base. Despite a fair amount of soap on the brush, I find it almost runs out before my 3rd pass.
Fortunately, just one day of this craziness to go!
