    Yes indeed....the all important cream/water ratio

    This remains one of the difficulties with the cream and it is two-fold. I have learned that there are two outside elements that affect the cream, one I am learning to modify and the other is out of my hands.

    Part of the difficulty with the cream/water ratio, has to do with the hardness of the water where you live. I have drawn this conclusion over a period of time based on endless comments from Gents where in one state the cream works great, but in a different part of the country the cream only performs satisfactorily, and this is after some amount of experimenting with the water ratio.

    This is actually a drawback from a "sell" point of view....unless a person is interested in the fact that there are no SLS ingredients in the cream, this is why the cream can behave so differently.

    aannnnddd the other thing I've learned is that humidity or lack thereof plays a HUGE part when I formulate a batch....the liquid ratio in my batch is different by as much as 6 oz when the when the weather begins to change from cold to warm....and then warm to cold.

    Sorda like how the oil companies say we have winter gasoline and summer gasoline.....

    I appreciate your comments Gentlemen !!

    XXWarm Regards, Colleen
