Embrocation & Chamois Creams

I found that all embrocation does nothing when you want it to (when you are cold, or leaving the house early in the morning) but burns burns burns when the temperature rises and after the ride / in the shower etc. Rubbish.

Yeah, it's usually at its warmest and stickiest when you're trying to scrape it off your road grime-covered legs in the shower afterwards.
