Don't let this go to your head, but I respect your opinion and will follow up on this lead very soon.

Thanx.

i'm reminded of my time in culinary school when it finally clicked and i started making perfectly whipped egg whites.. al's shaving creams are something out of this world..

so now i ask.. for the sake of experiment.. how can i make poor lather with this product?

To answer your question:
"Run out of it"

When you find something that works -- stick with it.

I wouldn't say improve upon, just personal preference. I like to use it both ways, but do prefer to uber... just different strokes. I like to play around with mixing the different scents too. Try it & see how you like it. I don't think you would ever be sorry however you use it.
Enjoy

i purchased 4 tubs.. and at an 8th of a teaspoon per session.. i'm guessing either they or my liver will go bad before i'm done using them.

i truly love the fact i'm able to pack these creams with water.. i mean.. it is wetshaving afterall.

I've been using them since he started making them. I still have the original versions. The stuff lasts forever because you use so little. I have found that it reallllly likes a large scuttle. Al told me a long time ago to use a large bowl. I recently purchased a double scuttle off Julie at DB, and there is a difference, I get even more lathery goodness....

I see your 4 and raise you



The price of soap plus matching balm, still cost me less than many soaps on their own.

very impressive.. with all that goodness.. does the mwf ever get used?

lol i rotate by the sleave, not the tub. I have 5 other soap racks too, like these, not to mention tube stuff.

to be honest with you.. with a wonderful scent like bodega.. my tobs almond will most likely be given away to my next convert.. it's a good cream.. but why drive your mercedes when you own a rolls?

Uber...
Mixed some Palermo with Mama Bear's Dragon's tears today. I actually finish lathering on my face. So, it gets even better
