    Default Creating my uber lather with Burts Bees, already contains glycerine

    So I have been searching around local drugstore and gentlemen's warehouses for shaving creams and decided to use Burts Bees shave cream. I have been adding a bit of pure glycerine even though the ingredients contain vegetable glycerine already. Do you think it is unnecessary to add more?

    I have enjoyed my lather much more since I have been trying the uber lather instead of just the soap puck. Maybe I should save the pure glycerine for when I get another cream that doesn't contain any at all?

    i've always wondered.. how does that cream lather with a brush?

    my uberlather advice.. load the brush with soap.. use an almond sized amount of cream and about 3 drops of glycerin.. you'll have to add water slowly to find the sweet spot... but once you do.. very nice.

    Not a true shaving cream, more of a lotion. There is no soap in this product, mostly various vegetable oils and heavy alcohols.

    I've been using it with soap to make uberlather. Seems to work fine, though not as well as Proraso. I like it because it has no real scent to it, which would interfere with the Mama Bear's soaps I use.

    I began using Mama Bear's bar soaps for bathing because they leave the glycerine in unlike the major brands and it doesn't dry my skin as much.

    The Poraso and Mama Bear's shaving soaps are wonderful as far as I'm concerned. In fact, this retro shaving journey has introduced me to some products that are so much better for things that aren't even shaving-related.

    it's done the same for me.. all the way down the line.. i get great satisfaction knowing that my pepsodent toothpaste is only a dollar and is the same formula to have cleaned the teeth of both cary grant and george peppard.
