    Yupper, I have done that. I believe it is called making an uber lather. You could also add a couple of drops of glycerin into the mix if you like.

    Been doing it for some time. My favorite is Williams Mug n Cremo. "Willmo". Slicker than snot on a glass doorknob. Slicker than most soaps I've used, so far.

    I’m adding that one to my collection.

    I started with mixing poraso and Arko.
    Now that I have more soaps / creams in collection, I’ve been mixing whatever I have.
    Usually it’s Arko and something else.

    Definetly slicker tan a single product on its own.

    From the Library, a short tutorial accompanied by video on the subject of making an uberlather.


    Glen showed me one using MWF, Musgo Real, and a few drops of glycerin. Too bad I lost the tube of Musgo.

    I've got a mug of what I call "Franken-soap." It started out as a well-used cake of MWF in a shaving mug. Then I started taking the leftovers scraped out of other soaps and creams I was using up(cuz I can't stand to throw anything away), then smooshing them down around it. It still has a strong base of MWF, and various other additions depending on which way I swirl the hardest lol-works great every time!

    I've been plastering globs of softer soaps onto my Arko stick, kind of using the Arko stick as an applicator. When I break through I get a mix of whatever I've been using and Arko. As a rule, the mixed soap, and this has been my experience with other methods and combinations of mixing, seems to somehow add the best qualities of the soaps. Only once when going from Jabonman 'Pepperilla' to Arko that, for the first time ever, I got the famous 'urinal puck' scent from the Arko. I'll be trying that one again soon. Today I had a fantastic shave with Arko/Mike's Lime.

    I will give this a try soon as I just picked up a bottle of glycerin today. Seen it at the store and felt I should have some. Who would have thought I find a use for it so quickly.
