Thread: How much glycerin?

My go to combo right now is loading my brush with MWF and then a dollop of Tebac cream in the scuttle + 5 drops of glycerin.....Whip it....Whip it Good !! Reminds me of a late 70's or early 80's Band

I gave just cream and glycerin a try last night and it was quite good, I'm not sure if I'm just getting better at lathering but it seemed thicker (I used to use a bit more water before joining and seeing many of Lynn's videos).

There was also no razor burn, again I don't know if I'm just getting a feel now and I have gone back to trying to learn with both hands so only doing the cheeks at present. Going to try with soap too tonight.

You should be able to find it at a pharmacy/chemist. It's usually a generic label (it is here, at least), so I can't think of any specific brand name.

I get mine at boots. I think it was £1.29 for 200ml.

Thanks for that.

I found mine at my local grocery by the vaseline and stuff. It was near the supposetories.
Btw i use almond trueffit cream, harris soap, and i guess a nickle size drop. It does make a difference.

I asked for glycerin at an asda pharmacy and was asked 'is a suppository alright?"

I went to a chemist!
