    Default Cream mixes/Cocktails?

    Does anyone mix a couple of creams together for a 'cocktail'?....i have just experimented mixing TOBS lemon and lime and Proraso and it was good! just wondered if i am likely to create something that is going to give me a rash due to mixing product?

    I havent experimented much with mixing creams, the only two I have mixed (so far) is Musgo Real and Trumpers Coconut.
    In my experience they supplement each other nicely. The lather gets more slick, the coconut smell gets subtle, which is great, because I am not a big fan of the coconut scent. But the cream (trumpers) offer a exceptional great lather. Ps. I mix 50/50

    I will definitely mix more in the future, but due to the fact that I am new to all of this I am trying to get an overview of all the different creams and performance, and how they work alone.

    I mixed Proraso and KMF Lime; OS Lime and Proraso, AOS Lemon and Proraso,(I think there is a pattern) and AOS Lemon and KMF Lime (going for a Sprite flavor).

    When I started I stuck with Proraso for a good few months to get my technique down. After, I still loved it but wanted to try something different. So I started experimenting with the citrus flavors there.

    They came out pretty nice.

    I mix creams and creams, croaps and creams, creams and soaps, soaps and soaps, and I'll throw in a few drops of glycerine in the witches brew every one in a while !!

    You mean like mixing bleach with some phosphate detergents and getting chlorine gas? No. If each product seperately doesn't give you a rash, then combined the soaps and creams shouldn't interact in a chemical fashion causing a rash.

    I'm not a chemist, but I play one on TV.

    Ajax and bleach in the toilet, shove your roomate inside and hold the door shut until he confesses to raiding your 420 stash!

    Another vote for Proraso (green) and KMF lime. A great combination!
    Luis -- not very good at this, so take all I say with a huge grain of salt
