When I mix a glycerin soap and a cream together, I usually melt the soap in the microwave first, then stir in the cream.
Keep us up to snuff, Rich I got a new one cookin right now.... Truefitt and Hill West Indian Lime cream + QED Lime soap This one is gonna be $$$$$$, BABY !
I just mixed me up some of Rick's ICY SCream. Gonna let that one cure for a few weeks.......let all the scents combine together
Great thread and idea for sharing. Here's my contribution: Load up brush with C&E Sienna, blend in bowl with C&F Limes (other limes may work, don't know). Maybe 1/2 knurdle - 1 knurdle. Depending on how much soap on the brush. Tones down the limes without making them sweet, and brings out some notes in the Sienna. Terrific dense lather and it gives a great shave. All in all, a very pleasant shave.
ROFL...i really feel i did something special making that SCream YOUR THE MAN RICK. Funny thing is...i usually just superlatherd Proraso and MB Rosemary Mint. Its cool that now..i have less stuff in the cabinet.
Well.... I couldnt sleep last nite....So I stepped into the R/D area of my house. Heres what I came up with. MB Rosemary Mint Soap/ Proraso Shave Cream (Name: Icy per Rick) MB Eucalyptus Oil Soap/ Ingrams Shave Cream (Name: Menthol Mania) MB Celestial Waters Soap/ Trumpers Lime Shave Cream (Name: Fruit Basket) Gonna let them all cure. Hopefully if i can get some containers and anyone is interested ill send you some samples.
Crabtree & Evelyn Suggestions OK, I have all of the C & E soaps and creams. If I was to make one of Rick's Screams, what would someone suggest I might mix them with? C&E Scents: Sweet Almond Nomad Sienna Sandalwood
Rich: First of all, the SCream recipe works with glycerine soaps and creams..... So, with that said, try these: C&E Sweet Almond oil cream and the HoneyBee Spa Almond soap C&E Sandalwood cream and MamaBears Mysore Sandalwood soap :drool Mill the soaps down and the stir them into the creams. I dont heat the soaps cause they lose scent, and thats what I like most about the glycerine soaps. Every day or 2 stir up the SCream and within a cuppa weeks they are married together and ready to go. Keep us Posted.
