Swamp water shaving cream

Wow was I bored. I was sitting on the toilet staring at all my shaving soaps and saw my small box of soap samples with all the ones I really don't care for. There was a bunch of Cattie's bubbles, a few TOBS, and an Edwin Jagger. I got the brilliant idea that mixing all of them together might produce some crazy scent that I actually might like. So I did just that... A little while later, and more creams added than I initially intended, I have a shaving cream that just kinda smells like soap. Funny thing is, I can't really be sure what it smells like cause I'm congested as hell, and can sometimes pick up a smell and sometimes not. I'll just have to wait until my wife gets home from the gym and see what she thinks........ actually, on second thought maybe I wont show her.

Then I decided to add about a tea spoon of all of these too.

The final outcome.

I suppose I better go try it out now. I got an entire TOBS tub full of this stuff. Oh man what did I do.....

You know, there are some people who just shouldn't be allowed to get bored or generally have time on their hands... :)

It's like a super-duper-uber lather!

I'm actually curious how it's going to perform. Should be pretty good I would think.

I know some ones going to ask, so I might as well type out what's all in here. Actually, I think it'll be more for me cause the list is long and I'm not even sure what's all in here.

The list.

Catie's bubbles.

-Pomander
-cape cod cranberry
-spanish holiday
-'95 liquid labels
-le vert orange
-gardenia
-rosee du matin
-jardind'or

TOBS

-avocado
-Mr. taylors
-almond
-jermyn
-sandalwood
-coconut
-shaving shop

Edwin Jgger, cooling menthol.

and then a tea spoon of all the other ones in the pic....

All mixed up looks like a tub of cement......lol

Please post your "results"......:)

It kinda does. I debated about getting out the hand mixer. There's many small chunks (aggregate) floating around in there from some of the TOBS samples that got a bit dry.

I think that Ed puts all of his leftover together in one bowl and uses that as his work soap. He works in a remote location and when he is at work scent is irrelevant. You never know you may have just created the perfect soap that you will never be able to repeat. Worst case scenario is you have a new shower soap. I do not bother saving any soaps I am unhappy with, those go straight to the shower.

You should mix them! :rofl2:

Hurrah another soap medley maker.:beer1: This evening I found a new bar of Jade East shower soap from the 1970's still in its sealed wrapper. It formed the basis for my new concoction. I think I'll name this one "Chase Me Honey" and give it a test shave on Wednesday with a scent test on the cute divorcee bank teller I'm trying to impress.

Yeah I did that and got a cross of Eucalyptus and Arabian Nights meets Lilac from hell
it was a tallow and non binding glycerin muck that after a month.
I sucked it up and pitched it.
New Years Resolution To only shave with Top Tier Soaps for a year.
Yes I can do that one.

Should work OK. I have a 1 cup Pyrex dish with some soap samples mashed together that seems to do the job. Beats pitching them out. Sort of a variable scent soap depending on what gets loaded on the brush but the lather is good.

I do a seven soap concoction, that performs extremely well for me. Builds lather fast too.
I think you'll be impressed with yours. Let us know on the results

Think of those chunks as garnets in a coticule and your lather as a slurry. You will have the sharpest brush around.:rofl2:

Think I'll stick with passing them on to new guys to try making lather with :<0) Love the wet cement color though.


I bet those chunks break up after soaking for awhile. And did you put that outside in case of spontaneous combustion ? Just a thought.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:gaah:

Ya guys, just used my neti pot so I could smell this stuff, and I'm getting a slight floral scent that I don't mind really. The performance of the Cream was great. Exactly the same as a TOBS Shave would be like. Well, I'd say the mix was a success. I'm more keen on using this than I would have been to use some of those awful scents I had.

Well at least you know it's safe to use......lol

Andrew, please take one of your now empty sample containers and send me a dab or two. Would like to see how that stands up to my changing daily uber-lather. Than ya kindly.

HARRYWALLY, here's an update on my new concoction, "Chase Me Honey". I was too busy to do a morning shave so I did it tonight. Man what a shave and what a soap. One bar of "Jade East" shower soap blended with a puck of Williams Mug soap. The concoction is lumpy, green, and has a scent that takes me back to the 1970's. To say it lathers is an understatement even with a wore out boar brush. In the mirror I looked like a green rabid dog from Mars. Next was the shave test. I used my biggest blade, the 13/16 to 7/8 John Doe no name. Old John just glided right through my barbwire beard on all three passes. No nicks and no razor burn.

BTW I went to Wallmart today and picked up a puck of Van Der Hagen and a tube of Creamo to blend off with a puck of Watkins.

Let us know how the cream o vander watkins goes.
I believe its gonna be a winner too.
Ive mixed Van der Hagen with others before [emoji6]

Will do. Creamo Vander Watkins will probably be a project towards the end of next week.

One of my test methods for these concoctions is to use my worst brushes and today was no different. That boar brush I used tonight was on par with some of the old crap they peddle on flea bay.

My Sunday shave will be different. New Boker and new Semogue boar brush all from SRD. I really like this "Chase Me Honey" scent and might test it out on some "Church Ladies" I'm trying to impress.:angel:

Hopefully none of the choir boys looks at ya funny. [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji4]
