    Default C.O. Bigelow and glycerin test

    Well since I'm waiting for my str8 kit to arrive I decided to stop by CVS and get a bottle of glycerin to see the lather it'll make. Used a small green mug that came in the stuff you get at wallyworld to mix it in, soaked the cheap boar brush added 6 drops of the glycerin and about an inch of the bigelow cream. Took a couple quick dips of water to get the lather going since I shook the brush out as I normally do so was a bit dry to start with, but man once I got the lather going it was going. What I ended up with was a thick creamy lather that reminded me of meringue or cool whip. My fiance was talking to me while I was testing this out and had her see what she thought of it, think she was impressed and said it was nicer than what she uses on her legs. I was imperssed and can't wait for the str8 to arrive so I can try it and the lather out.

    This is exactly my daily routine, Bigelow with 6 drops of glycerin. I love the results.

    It sure doesn't hurt to add the glycerin does it. I kick in a drop of lanolin to boot too.

    I will definitely try this. I keep reading great things about this combo. I already have CO Bigelow. Got the 3 for $10 at Bath and Body Works last week.

    One tip, try soaking your brush before you step into the shower. Then, when you're done, it's nice and soaked

    OK. Inquiring minds want to know . . . did you offer to lather your loved ones legs the next time she is going to shave them? Huh, huh? Did ya, huh?
    Any day on this side of the flowers is a good day!
