    Dollop of speik ontop of my classic shaving citrus basil soap...seems to bring out subtleties of the speik I never noticed before...smells amazing!
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Try just two gtts at first and see how it works but you have to get the water ratio right. Definately not a more is better thing!!

    You might be right. I never try anymore, because pretty much all the stuff I have really doesn't need it, and "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it".

    Used 3 drops this morning and got a better longer lasting lather, thanks.

    Here is a combination that I used this morning and was blown away by the amount of thick rich creamy lather it produced. I combined Vitos Red with The Body Shop's Mecca Root cream, 3 drops glycerin and 1 drop lanolin. I am guessing it was the Mecca Root cream that made the difference. Used on it's own it tends to explode lather but combined it goes to a whole other level. You have to try it with your favourite soap next time you make an uber lather. I am going to try it with Cella next time.
