Gentlemen:
As a relatively new wet shaver, only having been at the hobby for close to two years, I wanted to impart some of my experience in connection with building super lathers.
There are soaps that I adore, (my favorite is Tabac,) but when it comes to some shave sticks such as La Toja, even though they work well, I feel that soaps like those benefit from an additive ingredient. This ingredient, good friends, is Cremo Shave Cream.
A small amount mixed in with a mild shave soap increases the slickness exponentially! Originally, I tried mixing Cremo with La Toja and on another occasion tried Cremo in tandem with Proraso white in the tub. The results were outstanding! The blade glide was second to none and I was able to effortlessly achieve consistent BBS shaves with fewer passes.
I'm curious to know if any other gentlemen here have employed a similar tactic. If not, what is your favorite super lather recipe?
Cheers, friends!
