I'm sure there are more out there, and probably youtube tutorials and such (love the internet for stuff like this).
Not to mention people on sites like this!

Of course, I also have to land a day job, shear my sheep, spin up my backlog of fleeces, keep the raccoons from eating my show birds, etc. There's so much I want to do, but not enough hours to do it.

The more soap you use, the more time and water needed to rinse it away. When I'm washing alpaca, I often don't use soap at all as the goal is to get rid of a lot of the dirt and dust. For my white alpaca, I use a pinch of orvas paste.
I haven't had much luck with Dr. B, but your water will be different than mine, so try small batches to see how it works.
