Thread: What's your go-to Überlather?

Just wondering what your go to Überlather is? Still looking for combos, and suggestions. Thinking about making a "budget lather", maybe VDH and something else. Or a burt's bees cream and col conk. Have to experiment. Floor is open, enjoy!!!

MWF does it all for me. No need to combine anything.

Personally I think the uberlather thing goes a little too far. Any decent shaving soap will cleanse well and, if properly lathered up, will hold moisture for the skin and hairs. I think with uber lather you are putting in 10 times the effort for a 1% difference. Some guys like to go all out and get every last bit of moisture out of their lather, and thats fine.

My 2 cents anyway.

Hmmmm

Best Uber, for shaving is still the "Lanolin Overload" Musgo Real cream + MWF soap + 5 drops of glycerin for me anyway

Good Budget Uber, is just about any Glycerin based soap + Kiss My Face (any scent or no scent) cream + 3-5 drops of glycerin

Hadn't thought of kiss my face. That'd work perfect. If I come up with any real winners I'll make sure I tell you guys.

Any other nice go-to's ?... Doesn't have to be budget

My two favorites as of late have been:

Proraso cream + Mama Bear's Awakenings soap + 5 drops glycerin

Truefitt & Hill 1805 cream + D.R. Harris Marlborough soap + 5 drops glycerin

I have a few other Favs now that you said a budget doesn't matter

Mambo Italiano - Velobra Almond soft soap + Poraso Red cream + 5 drops
Mambo Menthol - Velobra Menthol soft soap + Poraso Green + 5 drops

English Garden - TOBS Lavender soap = Castle Forbes Lavender cream + 5 drops

Sandals - Honey Bee Spas Sandalwood soap + Crab Tree & Evelyn Sandalwood cream + 5 drops

Sandalwood Rum - Prairie Creations Bay Rum Tallow + AOS Sandalwood Cream + 5 drops

Tabac Slam - Tabac soap + Tabac cream + 5 drops

Incense & Peppermints - SRD Frankincense Soap + Old Spice Musk creme + 5 drops

Rose Garden - SRD Bulgarian Rose Soap + Salter Wild Rose cream + 5 drops



And Yes, I make up stupid names for these if they become favorites and are repeatable

I really like Castle Forbes and Nancy Boy shave creams. I add a few drops of glycerin and I get a really nice lather.

Load the brush with MWF and some Tebac cream in the scuttle with 5 drops and im a happy guy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glen, I'd buy some of those just based on name alone. You could make some pretty funny covers to go with the soap combos. They sound like they smell good too. Are you a fan of the Überlather? Or is it a special occasion type thing?
