I think I'm going to start! I tried a shave with some VDH Luxury Soap yesterday morning. Boy was it slick! Dried my face out though. Did a shave with some TOBS Avocado this morning. Boy was it moisturizing! Not as slick though. I've Superlathered before, and I think I'm going to just do it every day from now on. Why not!?
Does anyone Superlather every day?

Well as long as you are at it, why not uberlather?
I don't know why you would. Won't this waste time and product.
I just started using Mystic Water and Proraso. I think that I'm addicted, I can't stop.
I went with the Tabac and Proraso just to see how wild of a lather it would muster. Smooth as snot and felt amazing. Will probably just stick with my tabac most of the time though.

Interesting feedback! The VDH is pretty cheap, and I only use about half the normal amount of cream so I don't think its too too wasteful. I would like to find a "stand alone" product though...until then Superlather it is! 
I superlather with Arko to get around the smell. By combining Arko with non-tallow products (i.e. Kiss My Face, Old Spice cream, glycerin soaps, etc.) you get the best of both worlds.
My current favorite also! Arko + KMF = nice scent, stellar performance.
I superlather probably 3 days a week. Some of it is just experimentation and having fun with scents. Some of it is actually wanting to combine the good properties of the products. If you like, do it everday, its your shave!
I'm currently on a Bigelow (Proraso)/KMF Key Lime kick...used Arko last night, should try the two...
Wasting product? I agree w/ u AF. A $2 puck and half the cream isn't a waste. Plus, in the grand scheme of things your saving sooooo much money on blades it's justified! Right?!?!
I super-lathered a handful of times as a newbie out of lack of confidence in my lather and haven't really done it since... until last night.
I loaded up a generous amount of MWF like a shave stick, then face lathered that with some DR Harris Windsor cream. Wow, I had gobs and gobs and gobs of lather!
Not something I'll revisit often since I truly enjoy each of my soaps/creams on their own, but it was fun for some variety.

I uberlather just about every time. I am addicted.... I like the smell and the properties and the smell! I have recently tried using essential oil/fragrance oil as well. That was great with a knock-out (in a good way) smell. Plus, I think it is a little cheaper that way.
I SuperLather Tabac soap and cream every time.
Likewise for Blenheim Bouquet soap and cream.
And LaToja stick and cream.
Other good combos I've found ...
MWF + Musgo Real
L'Occitane Cade + KMF Lavender/Shea
ANY soap + KMF fragrance free

I Uberlather three or four days a week. Today it will be AOS lavender and Proraso with glycerin. As for using too much product, the answer is not the way I do it. The amount of cream I use is a pea size or slightly larger amount and I charge the brush for at most 30 seconds, depending on the soap. In contrast, if I use only cream I put in an amount larger than an almond size and if I use soap I charge the brush for up to a minute.

Very true! Think I'll go for VDH and KMF Lime tomorrow....but when the MWF comes in....oh my the possibilities!
I have yet to super lather, uber lather, or do anything other than regular, plain old lather.
I did not deviate for 50 years of wet shaving. And then one day after joining B&B I saw a post about making Uberlather. That was about two years ago and I tried it, loved it, and now use it regularly. So some of us "old dogs" can learn new tricks.
I uberlather every day. Usually, I start with Bigelow/Proraso. Then I always add Kiss My Face Key Lime and glycerine. This combo feels very slick and it has almost eliminated nicks.
