No more uberlather for me

I love the scent, glide and overall experience provided by Tabac. I love the moisture, glide and ease of lather (for me) provided by MWF.
So, I may not be getting the best possible lather with using these individual products on their own, but I am enjoying each product more for what it is. Do others feel the same way?
Ladies and gentlemen:
I fully share Fbones' thoughts on this. "I like enjoying each individual soap or cream for what they are," he points out. I could not agree more.
I tried uberlather for a time, but some months ago I reasoned, as has our good friend Fbones, that I prefer to enjoy each soap or cream for what it is. Of course, water around these parts is relatively well balanced between hard and soft, so that is not problem with me.
I rotate a dozen soaps and half as much in cream varieties. I bought each for its individual qualities. All are high end soaps and creams, and they stand on their own. I don't see the need to spike them.
A Renoir stands on its own quite well. Blending Renoir, therefore, with some commercial poster will detract from the Renoir.
I, therefore, bid farewell to uberlather, unless I end up with low quality soap or cream that needs to be saved. None of my topnotch soaps and creams needs saving.
