Thread: Uberlather and mixing scents

The "old" formulation Body Shop cream works well when mixing. I believe you can still find it at some locations if you ask. As was mentioned previously, KMF Unscented works very well with scented soaps and is relatively cheap and easy to find at a Whole Foods or other organic grocery stores.

I'm with Joe on this one. KMF unscented cream works well with just about any soap. KMF also has a Vanilla Earth which is outstanding on it's own and also Peaches and Cream. These both are lightly scented and work well combining their scents with other soaps.

Trumpers Coconut soap and D R Harris Arlington cream was great, both scent and performance wise, for me

Here is some food for thought for mixing scents etc. With as many soaps as I have they lose a good portion of their scent over time. I have in the past and will do so in the future fortify my older glycerin soaps that have lost a portion of their wonderful scents. I zap the glycerin bowl in the microwave until it is liquid and then mix some cologne of the same flavor [Bay Rum etc] into the bowl. I have done this several times and it works well. I have also taken an unscented soap and mixed in an aftershave [Aqua Velva Musk]. Your imagination and available scents [aftershave, cologne, EDT's, Bacon Fat, Garlic Oil, Whisky, WD-40] is what will determine your final product.

I like to blend menthol cream and glycerin base peppermint soap.

A friend of mine sent me some exquisite home made soaps. I mixed it with cream and a few drops of glycerin.
I think that, even when it appears to be a very slicky and nice lather, it dries a bit. I will uberlather with dedicated soap and cream tomorro and see.
Nevertheless, I use this high end soaps for cleaning my face before shaving and going to bed and it leaves me a smooth and sweet sensation on my skin.
Be well.

Most of my soaps are Charles's QED and they are strongly scented. I tried some QED Lime with Salter's lime and I felt like it was too much of a good thing. What I do now is use MWF for mixing cream and soap. The wool fat has no scent that I can discern so I only get the scent of the cream. I have never tried mixing glycerin into the mix.
