Thread: Im a complete beginner so all advice is welcome

I have been experimenting with a hybrid mixture of soap and cream (not foam!) with a few drops of pure glycerin and mineral oil. Better to start with too little water, then add touches as needed until you get a good, rich lather. You don't have to spend gobs on the cream (a tube of Nivia works great), but definitely use a good soap. The glycerin and mineral oil are dirt cheap and can be found in most pharmacies. Food for thought.

Tymus, will call that an uber lather. Everyone has their own formula. Mine is a base of a few drops glycerin, a dash of Tea Tree oil, small amount of Maca Root and a 30 second swirl on a puck of MWF. And as the day feels I often add a small amount of various other soaps, creams or tubed shaving soap. I generally keep this mixture going for about a week, refreshing it each day with a drop or two of glycerin and a touch of the two mainstays. I discard after that week because I've found that most brushes shed hairs while you are mixing the lather and it build up on the bottom of the bowl.

Must learn to type and proof read better. ,will call should read we call.
