Another Maca Root fan, been using it for years. I too use plenty of water and 2-3 drops of Glycerin for a rich, slick cream.
Maca was my go to until I tried Sandlewood AOS… and up until last week when I tried MDC.
Get some Glycerin, CVS 6 buck a bottle will last years.

Hey cajun, hope you are well, i think you may be talking about me, i dont hate maca root, in fact i like the product, but i dont buy it because TBS is owned by nestle, or last i heard it was, and they are ( again last i heard, i havent looked into it of late) somewhat unethical in the way that they promote their baby formula in developing countries. I am not posting this to garner support for any cause, just to clarify CC's comment.

I have a WSP high mountain badger brush and loads of various soaps. I can whip up a nice lather with all of them. I just assumed maca root cream was not the type that was suppose to be whipped up. Originally Posted by Iceni

Maca Root is one of the standard parts of my super lather. Thirstier than a Saturday night drunk. As for the scent, I guess I've been "blessed" with one of the lousiest senses of smell around. It has to be stronger than a horse stable at noon on a hot Summer day before I'll even get a suggestion of aroma. But Maca good. Lack of water bad.

It definitely wasn't you, it was someone over at Badger and Blade and it was several years ago. I think we all boycott some companies when we don't agree with their business practices. I know I do.

As it happens, I found a pot of the product in question this evening - i can only guess it was a gift, given quite some time ago. I really liked it - It gave a great shave and aside from the smell, I couldn't fault it. For giggles, i tried it without added water and it was certainly not optimal for shaving!
