Thread: What do you use for uberlather?

I have a water softner, so I rarely Uber, but when I do, it's Gssixgun's MWF + Musgo Real + 5 drops of Glycerin. Great stuff.....and
It is fun to experiment.

Hello, whavens: I uber lather only with some of my older soaps of lesser quality, because, unless they are a disaster, I have a hard time getting rid of them. The quality soaps I buy perform admirably on their own and I don't see the need to mess with them. Somehow I can't see tampering with, say, Martin de Candre, Provence Sante, Mitchell's Wool Fat, or a number of other quality soaps. Adding Arko cream and glycerine to Martin de Candre is like trying to replace the hood on the Lamborghini with one from a Ford Focus. On the rare occasions that I do uber lather, however, I use a small amount of Arko cream with five or six drops of glycerine.

I've been playing with the Trumpers samples and MWF and C.O. Bigelow. Think I will buy a few more creams.

I mixed Proraso soap and Musgo Real this morning (with glycerin of course), a nice mixture.

MB Crypre Rose+Bomb.oakmoss+bergamot+arko cool.
The combination of those different smells whit a little cool from the Arko. Wunderbar!!!!

Penhaligons English Fern + Palmolive Classic Cream (Euro) + Glycerin. Very very nice

One of my favorite übers is Williams Mug Soap+Palmolive Lemon+5 drops of glycerine. Perfect lemony scent for those warmer days.

What brand glycerin works best?

As long as it is food grade glycerin it won't matter. Whatever they have at cvs, walgreens, rite aid, etc.

I have another post on this line elsewhere, but im curious how it plays into the uberlather concept.

I undertand that the idea, beyond getting hard water to lather, is also to get some of the benefits of both tallow and glycerine soaps. That would be why you add a cream to a soap. I also understamd that you can shave tallow hard soaps to re-shape them into a new container, and melt hard glycerine soaps. What would happen if you melted the glycerine soap into the tallow soap? Woud it be like an uberlathering hard soap? Would you get the best of both worlds, or just a lumpy hard soap?

I ask this because, besides general curiosity, I like to bring the little luxuries of home with me when i travel, but glycerine & cream & soap takes up a lot of space. If one could condense them all into a single package, it would certainly be easier to pack.
