Thread: Blending Creams / Soaps?

Makes water, wetter. It retains water.

You'll notice, it's the key ingredient in any skin/ hand lotion.
I use one drop on wet hands, as a post shave application, followed with a AS of my choice.

I've read that some add a small amount of glycerin to their aftershave. Too much gets sticky. Thayers witch hazel has glycerin but IMO a bit too much. I cut it 50/50 with Dickerson's

Well this is a great idea! Never thought of it.
I'm a bit angry, my wife took it upon herself to throw away my left over castle forbes because it was almost gone!
I had at least 5 shaves left in it.
Could've had myself a great start to a Frankenlather!
Oh well, I'll keep this in mind.
Thanks for the idea!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only a waste of soap, but she deprived you of the feeling of finishing off the very last bit. I love finishing off shave software. It marks time.

I know, it was terrible! Had a sinking feeling.
Was saving it for special occasions. Now I'm completely out of everything because my other soaps are gone too.
I've got some samples that will be sent my way tomorrow so no worries. May have to give in to necessity and get some walmart stuff.
Honestly I've been slacking on buying new soap/cream.

Dumpster Diving Time!

Whenever I have a soap or cream almost gone I scrape it into a bowl and put it aside and just keep adding until it’s full and have had pretty decent results with what I call “ Frankensoap ....

Frankensoap. I got to try this. Ve only ran out of a few types but t take soooo long. I will be givng this ubersoap a try tomorrow. Cant wait.

To each their own, but most good soaps don't need any help generating a good lather. Fortunately for me, my principal soap is excellent.
Nonetheless, enjoy whatever you are using.

That's what really draws me into the idea.. It would take a long time, and at some point you would have this strange creation..
"In certain elite shave circles, his Frankensoap was legendary, achieving mythical proportions! Few even knew of its existence, even fewer had experienced its grandeur."
A novel idea, I'm gonna do it for sure!
