Thread: Goats Milk & Lanolin shave soap.

An uberlather is a combination of soaps and creams.

I do not trow it away at the end of my shave but the next day add a couple drops of glycein and the other staples again and re build my lather. Many variations and combinations can be used. I maintain an uber lather for about a week and then start over again.

WHY AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT THIS!

that sounds awesome though.

There hasn't been much chatter about it for close to ten months. The subject comes and goes.

I have not tried more than 2 brands of goats milk soap ( thought it would be a good idea). Just not a good lather or cushion,, there is too much good stuff out there , and you don't have to break the bank, lanolin can be found in so many ,, tc

Yeah its a shame, it really is a good idea for an additive, I'm not exactly sure why this stuff doesn't build a good cushion, I did finally get it to explode some lather, but no matter what it ether felt watery or pasty there seemed to be no in-between. Back to MWF for now.
