Thread: Combining Soaps & Creams

I have mixed my share of creams but don't have enough soaps to get too horribly creative.

My AoS soap mixes real nice with my coconut cream though!

Only time I do this is when I use the odd cream on MWF. I have a couple creams in particular that don't work well with my water, the MWF gives it the kick it needs without taking over the scent of the cream. Works well and there are only a couple that need help but have a nice scent.

castle forbes lavender and TOBS Rose cream = floral frenzy
TOBS Spanish Leather Cream and La Toja Soap(old one with the cork) = Spanish Fly!!

Honestly it is only limited by your imagination. They are all good and fun if you start with quality soaps and creams.

DR Harris almond soap + "Kiss My Face" grapefruit/pomegranate cream

The cream seems to cut some of the soap's heaviness and tendency to make the blade stutter when it starts to dry.
The soap seems to add more protection to the cream and the combo lasts longer.

I start bowl-lathering with the soap and very little water. When it starts "sticking", I add a squirt of the KMF, which explodes with the citrus scent and loosens up the lather. Add water a little at a time to "keep the bubbles small", or so goes my theory.

I do all the time, because I'm a rebel and all shaving lather must have Lavender.
