Super Lather Combos

[daverasi]

I has been posted a number of times although not all that recently. Just curious to hear what super lathers everyone has come up with?

I've only tried one, Cade shave soap and shave cream. The cream is mediocre on its own but with the great cade soap....:thumbup:

[beginish]

Mitchell's Wool Fat soap with any scented cream is a great combination. I have had great success with Old Spice, TOBS and Penhaligon's.

[jtb]

AOS Sandalwood soap and cream :w00t: But only on weekends :lol:

[ki11ak3nn]

AOS Sandalwood soap and cream :w00t: But only on weekends :lol:

+1 I love AOS combos. Also on days when I'm lazy or it's warm outside I'll use VDH glycerin and Proraso. :thumbup1:

[McEwenC]

Old school Colgate Tallow and TOBS Rose

[Kilgore]

MWF or Cella with Cade or Mama Bears unscented.:thumbup:

[masonjarjar]

one I just tried today that worked really well:

Williams + Godrej Rich Foam


My other favorites from the Past:

VDH Deluxe and Proraso

Williams and KMF Lime

This is the combination that immediately came to mind when I saw this thread. I like mixing MWF with a number of scented creams.

[Easttexasman]

Palmolive soap stick and musgo real works good for me.

Williams provides a nice inexpensive base for the Godrej Lime but I like it even better with Kiss My Face mint.

[jsj_297]

try ya some Williams mug soap, with plenty of Proraso green tube.......:blink:

Just kiddin, I'd rather pronounce a nice slightly rotted corpse, in the heat for a week than smell that combo again! (and ive done both) :blush:

[hunter87597]

Proraso cream mixed with mama bear's awakening :lol:

[4hits]

My pairings are literal:

Tabac Cream/Soap
Palmolive Cream/Soap
Irisch Moos Cream/Soap



Old school Colgate Tallow and TOBS Rose

Is the Colgate scent mild enough so it doesn't conflict with the Rose?

I guess the Palmolive cream isn't too scented, although it is a little olds school soapy/clean.

[daverasi]

Mitchell's Wool Fat soap with any scented cream is a great combination. I have had great success with Old Spice, TOBS and Penhaligon's.

Maybe this is a sign as I have both Pens BB and MWF but have yet to try either...I was hoping to try them on their own before dabbling with a super lather:lol:


AOS Sandalwood soap and cream :w00t: But only on weekends :lol:

I just got the soap and creating this super lather is on my list:thumbup:

[Salty O'Rourke]

Kiss My Face unscented and just about any cream. I've used it with Speick, RSC Sensitive, Bigelow, and Erasmic with good results.

[daverasi]

My pairings are literal:

Tabac Cream/Soap
Palmolive Cream/Soap
Irisch Moos Cream/Soap



I like the idea of pairing products soaps and creams.

I am also looking to pair QED Lime and Trumpers coconut...

Anyone else mix flavors?

Too many soaps and creams...but only one face!:tongue_sm

[superspot]

VDH and Creamo Cream with a shot of Glycerin. :thumbup:

[BroJohn]

HoneyBee_Spa almond shave soap and KMF Vanilla Earth shave cream. :001_wub:

-- John Gehman

[Ignatius]

soap & water & brush

[Leonard1]

Proraso Soap. Bigelow Cream. The only super lather combo I have tried.

[The Pontificator]

Double cream!

C.O. Bigelow(Proraso) and KMF Mint + 2 or 3 drops glycerin.

Finish the shave with the mighty :ouch1: OSAGE RUB

[THE DUDE LOVE]

I get a good lather going with my Arko Stick, then drop a little nugget of p160 and work it up pretty good my my what a lather...:lol:

[OkieStubble]

Col. Conk's Lime soap w/Kiss My Face Key Lime cream.
(Nice & Limey with copius amounts of lather!)

C.O. Bigelow/Proraso cream w/Dr. Bronner's Peppermint/Spearmint shave gel.
(The eucalyptus and menthol of Bigs/Proraso w/ the Bronner's makes tons of super cooling lather for those hot summer days!)

American Crew Herbal shave cream/ w/Maca Root shave cream by TBS
(While the American Crew isn't supposed to lather, mixed w/the Maca root it explodes in the bowl and together the scent is amazing!)


Van Der Hagen Deluxe/ w/Williams Mug Soap (Put both through a cheese grater, and mold into a mug.Two cheap soaps combine, to make mounds of slick, rich, dense lather that will give some of the most expensive soaps a run for their money!)

[KeithS]

VDH and KMF unscented

VDH and CO Bigelow Green

I still haven't tried the AOS cream with anything yet.

[Hex]

I used this yesterday and it will stay in my rotation.

MWF + T&H 1805

Thanks to whomever said MWF with anything. :thumbup1:

[slugg77]

I just did Mama Bear Lime Ice and CO Bigelow cream. Awesome lather, smell was ok. Good shave though. This is kind of fun:biggrin1:

[inspiringK]

Bought some cheap Real Shaving Co cream a while back. Have mixed it with almost all my soaps and had great success. The mild scent works with other scents and the cream lathers up really easily.

Tabac and Real works wonders. :thumbup1:

Thanks, I'll have to try that. I've used Tabac soap with Tabac creme.

Also the perennial Bigelow with VDH Deluxe.

[rbaloha]

IMO any soap and cream combo works.

Currently receiving outstanding results with shave secret pre oil, Avalon Peppermint shave cream and MWF (watched manitac's video to improve lather results).

[daverasi]

I used this yesterday and it will stay in my rotation.

MWF + T&H 1805

Thanks to whomever said MWF with anything. :thumbup1:

I tried MWF for the first time yesterday and I cannot wait to combine it with some of my great smelling creams!

[binowatch]

I've been using up some Caswell Massey sandalwood lather cream that doesn't lather on its own. Oddly, on any soap (VDH, MWF, grated and mushed up nontallow Erasmic stick) I've tried it is very nice-a very slick, lasting, aromatic, cushioning lather. It is such a shame the CM can't do it alone!

[jkittle]

try ya some Williams mug soap, with plenty of Proraso green tube.......:blink:

Just kiddin, I'd rather pronounce a nice slightly rotted corpse, in the heat for a week than smell that combo again! (and ive done both) :blush:

Odd. Thats the combo I used tonight. Loved it! :)

[daverasi]

Like I said...there seem to be too many combos to contemplate!

Out of curiosity which unscented cream do most of you use to combine with a scented soap? AoS, T&E, KMF? Others?

[AlanDanDaly]

I use palmolive stick - rubbed directly onto bristles - then put a dab of ingrams cream on each cheek & neck ...now lather,using a brush,to a rich,thick consistency,and enjoy the shave.
No cup/bowl needed ...a fast and efficient way to shave!

[Don_Draper]

MWF and and scented cream and a few drops of olive oil....like butta!

[knightrw111-]

Tabac and Real works wonders. :thumbup1:

I regularly mix either the RSC cream for sensitive skin, or the RSC cream with moisturizer with any of my Mama Bear's soaps and always love the results.

[Kilgore]

Last night I mixed some Prorsaso with RSC & it was terrific!
Oh, & a few drops of glycerin.:thumbup:

[chemicalsams]

Any soap (I like Conk Bay Rum) plus KMF unscented.

KMF mint and I are not getting along right now.

[kcgmn]

My favorite superlather combos:
Col Conk / Kiss My Face (cool mint or key lime)
Col Conk / Real Shaving Co.
Col Conk / Bigelow (Prorasso)

All work great for me at a reasonable price.

[Chadtheguru]

I've done:

Valobra Menthol soap with C.O. Bigelow cream
Arko soap with Dettol Lime cream

Both nice combos. :thumbup1:

[VTnyc]

Palmolive stick + Coates Shave Cream

[kelebekcc]

Arko + Arko :001_smile

[SB1831]

Speick + KMF Lavender

[Myanmar Shave]

Institut Karite and Erasmic. Unbelievable.

[daverasi]

I tried a new combo this morning - Pre de Provence shave soap and Coates Cream - I forget which Coates as I received a rather large sample in B/S/T...needless to say that this was a great combo!

[gash]

Any soap (I like Conk Bay Rum) plus KMF unscented.

*Snip*

I tried that once, and got an incredibly slick lather.

[Bloomey]

I tried the following this morning and got a fantastic superlather:

Trumpers lime soap and cream

Others I have tried and worked well are:

Proraso cream and soap
MWF and proraso cream
MWF and KMF
MWF and RSC Moisturising

Its all good

[doug_k]

Trumpers coconut soap and Kiss My Face unscented cream

[sid3000]

Cade Soap and Cream

[hunter87597]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned trying Cella and proraso tube cream.

oh mylanta :lol:

[Wil Dorenbos]

Kiss My Face and just about any soap.

[GregDR]

Today I combined TOBS Rose and Proraso Green Tea & Aloe...

Razor:1960 Gillette Adjustable
Blade: Feather
Lather: TOBS ROSE/Proraso Green Tea & Aloe

=

Amazing!

[winston61]

I have multiple creams that I like. My method is smear the cream on my face first, then lather up with my homemade puck of Arko. Always a good combination.

[Chadtheguru]

I tried Tabac with a bit of TOBS Lavender last night with:

utterly AMAZING results. :w00t:

I absolutely will do that again in the near future.

[Doctor Love]

Proraso soap & Proraso cream work great together. I finish with Proraso Pre/Post, an Italian Trifecta that's hard to beat.

...although a nice scuttle to warm up that lather might be a step in the right direction. :001_cool:

[mikeon]

I like Godrej menthol with Williams, it is super thick and cooling, even with just a tiny bit of the Godrej.

[brucered]

KMF (grapefruit or lime) with TBS Macca Root..to kill the scent of TBS soap or KMF with RSC works as well, add's some scent to the RSC stuff with is great but bland scented

[TheMist]

proraso cream + glycerine

[footdoc]

I'm relatively new to DE shaving but have tried combining VDH deluxe with CO Bigelow and have been impressed...nice rich lather, cooling menthol feel, and great refreshing smell

[asimmons500]

I never thought to mix a cream and soap but have a whole new world to explore now! Time to find something to mix with my MWF :)

[Leonard1]

Cyril Salter soap/Bigelow Cream. May not be your first thought to combine these scents (I believe Lavender and Eucalyptus, respectively) but I thought it worked well.

[Ihorn]

Mama Bears Ye Olde Barbershop+ C.O. Bigelow
