Is it possible to make whipped cream with a shaving brush? And then shave with it? Has this been done? I'm seriously tempted to buy some heavy cream on my next shopping trip and try it. Milk baths are a thing that's supposed to be good for your skin, and heavy cream is the fat-rich part of milk right? Now that I've been thinking about it the whisking motion to hand-whip cream is basically the same motion as making lather, maybe the whisk would be necessary to let more air in though. Either way could this potentially be a one-ingredient natural skin-friendly shaving cream? It might not be slick enough. Thoughts?
Probably not going to offer much of anything besides yumminess. I'd try it anyway, just because. Pick up some strawberries and shortcake!
I've seen this done a couple of times on videos. The thing is you can shave with just about anything, but it does not mean that you should. Just because two products have a similar base does not mean that they are interchangeable (old school glue and jello are a good example of this). Whipped cream is not intended for facial use, and by all accounts it shows this in many ways (it slides off of the face, provides next to no slickness, and tends to be difficult to rinse completely off). You may be able to use whipped cream as a base ingredient to create an odd shaving cream, but it would be more of a novelty than anything else.
Alright, how about the can you achieve it with a shave brush question? Think it's possible? I don't know of any shaving creams that start off as such a runny liquid so I don't know if it would work. I found a video of a guy shaving with canned whipped cream but that's not the 'only cream' kind of whipped cream I had in mind; I know there's at least sugar and probably other stuff in the cans. LOL it's really not yummy if you make it without sugar; my grandmother puts plain whipped cream on her pies it's kind of gross actually. But unaltered is how I think it might have skin benefits, like milk face masks and milk baths. I don't know lactic acid is supposed to gently exfoliate and milk is soothing on burns, might soothe cuts as they happen. Even if I don't end up shaving with it I'm going to try and make it with a brush; just to see if it's possible. I wonder if my tiny whisk made for eggs can make a lather out of shaving cream...*runs off to kitchen*
So that was a resounding no. I still want to see if a brush can whip cream..don't think Winn Dixie is open at 1:35 am though
I would imagine that a brush wouldn't do much. Whipped cream isn't really designed to "lather up" if you just want it thicker a whisk might help, adding some egg would also do the trick. If you're looking for something that is good for your skin and that you can shave with, then I think there are better choices of products (the french soaps that are rich in shea butter such as Pre De Provence, Institut Karite, and Provence Sante all come to mind). If you're just trying to experiment for the sake of experimentation then the best way to find out if it will work is to simply try it.
This is the plan, I'm really just bored haha Also gelatin thickens it up nicely, when making whipped cream for food and not wasting it to try crazy things
PB was a shave lub choice of senator Barry Goldwater..http://lifehackery.com/2008/07/23/health-3/. The main draw back is the nutty fragrance. I tried crunchy but it was too bumpy..
Maybe you could do a combo with a shaving cream, I could imagine that working. Anyways you got my support all the way
Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell (1951). An old B&W movie in which the lead character (Clifton Webb as Mr Belvedere) demonstrated how to save time while shaving. He proposed using whipped cream as a lather. He ate the lather as he shaved.
That's pretty interesting. I think I like peanut butter too much to waste enough to cover my legs lol. But it's pretty oily i could see it leaving skin really smooth.
Whipped cream only works with nuts sprinkled on it and a cherry on top. Seriously, if whipped cream worked well as a shaving cream, that fact would likely be widely known by now. Even so, it would be an interesting experiment. But peanut butter? That seems like a waste of food to me. Perhaps olive oil would be a good substitute.
