Thread: Who is using glycerin?

I use it in my preshave. It's a mixture of Noxzema (the 2oz size) with 5 or 6 drops of :glycerin; almond oil; grapeseed oil; and tea tree oil. It makes a very nice preshave and one that's a lot less expensive than brand names.

just got a bottle today and mixed a few drops with my CF cream, I didn't notice a significance improvement.
However, since it cause no harm, I might as well add some every time.

If its not helping why use it? Seems a waste to me.. (I think CF has Glycerin in it already which would explain why u didn't notice an improvement)

In my limited experience, I've found it helps sometimes. Experimentation is the rule of thumb.

QUESTION: In what aisle/section in CVS may I find glycerin? I've looked several times, but never found a bottle labled as such. Are you folks "dual purposing" personal lubricants or what?

No! I've already got twelve toothbrushes, because every time I go in the pharmacy, there's a girl serving. I have never actually bought a tube of KY Jelly.... is that what you mean?.... not for me or anyone else, but my guess is you've probably just inadvertently made a major discovery here. Maybe someone here will be able to sneak some into his scuttle(!) and tell us the result.

It is in a pack of like 5 plastic droppers sold as a suppository, expensive though like that since it is considered a medical use. Better you order it from Amazon by the bottle and get free shipping. Add in a bottle of liquid lanolin for the whole kit.

I found it in the skin care isle along with the creams and such. I think I spent 5 dollars on mine and it's probably enough to last a lifetime.

Search for "Astroglide" in the Forums -- there's a recent thread. It works nicely. I haven't tried KY Jelly.

I thought Astroglide was a silicone preparation?!? I have been using both glycerin and Lanisoh.... the lanisoh is so thick it is VERY hard to get it to mix into my lather. I guess I need to heat it first, but that would move my pre shave prep from 5 minutes to 15 at least LOL. I'll have to try the Astroglide or maybe WET. At last, another use for those bottles of lube! Hee hee...
