    Default al's shaving cream.. is it possible to make bad lather?

    i was finally able to purchase a few tubs of al's shaving creams.. i have to say.. they truly amaze me.. no matter what i do.. the stuff lathers perfectly.. it seems as if i can just add water forever and the lather never seems to get runny.. even if it does.. i just keep whipping and it stiffens up again into a perfect lather..

    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?

    Its not just the great lather either. Skin feels great and for me, well conditioned after use.

    He makes a superb product. If your ever lucky enough to talk with him, youll learn more than you thought possible. His of true knowledge of the chemistry of why what works, and passion to make superior cream really shows in the end.

    Oh yea, not gonna bite on how to make poor lather with it. Have too much fun with the good lather!

    true.. the after effect on my face is amazing.. almost to the point where no aftershave is necessary...

    for now.. i'm trying using as little product as possible and i'm still getting great results..

    i'm facelathering with a wee scot.. i start with a wet face and smear about an 8th of a teaspoon on my chin.. so far it seems to be the perfect amount for a single pass.

    as far as everything that al knows about soapmaking.. everything goes over my head about 4 sentences in.

    Ihe only way I know of to create bad lather with the cream is to add something to it or not enough water, but I don't see any reason to do either.

    I recently got a tub of custom scented Bomb shaving cream in a "new" formulation. It's even better on the moisturizing properties. My face feels great after I use it. I can't say enough good things about Al's products!

    Al makes a very fine cream!
    I currently have 4 of the scents, and love 'em all.
    I also have the ASB in the same scents, and they perform wonderfully too.
    My personal favorite scent is the Saigon.
    Bjoernar
    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Thumbs up

    Some great stuff. My favorite is to uberlather Calypso & SRD West Indies Bay. The Saigon is great mixed with Mama Bear's Gingergrass. You can't go wrong any way you use it IMO.

    i have yet to try mixing it with anything.. seems like that would be overkill.. can you actually improve upon the lather you get with just the bomb?
