Is anyone else addicted to superlather? Plus a question.

Seems like the vast majority of the time I grab a soap I can't help but put a tiny amount of that little "something" in with it to really kick it up. For whatever reason, and it just dawned on me. The only thing I do it with is C.O. Bigelow. I have some samplers from Trumpers still sitting in my cabinet plus a tube of GFT from them and I have yet to concoct anything with them. But for whatever reason it seems whenever I add that tiny bit (I use literally a pea sized about almost always) the lather seems to turn into this thick luxurious lather. I really enjoy a soap or cream on their own occasionally but I seem to often wind up with a kind of film near the handles on the base of my brushes when using a cream. And the lathers I get from soap, while nice lathers, don't seem to thicken up like the creams do so I enjoy the best of both worlds doing a super. Anyone else here an avid superlather fan?

Oh the actual question I was talking about in the title was: Does anyone make an unscented cream? My only gripe, if you can call it that, with a superlather is that some soaps I really want to keep the smell of rather than have it mix or become overpowered by a cream. C.O seems to kind of dominate any soap I add it to. I was hoping something unscented would give me the lather I like from making a superlather AND allow me to enjoy some of the soaps I also have.
 
I ALWAYS Superlather or Uberlather.....maybe it's an overreaction to having used Williams for the first few months of D/E shaving.

As for unscented cream, the only one I am aware of is Kiss My Face.

i like their unscented cream. it is actually unscented (at least my nostrils fail to pick up any 'chemical' scent).

i thought about making a super lather with the AOS unscented. i'll have to give it a shot once i start shaving again. and if you've tried any AOS creams before, you know those things explode and give you some great lather.
 
I've superlathered with Anthony Logistics unscented. By itself its OK (as in soap + cream), but its great bumped up with a little extra glycerin.

I super and/or uberlather every day. I use either an unscented soap (VDH) or cream (AoS) and pair it with a scented cream or soap along with a few drops of glycerin. Makes wonderful lather and keeps the irritation low.
 
I have found that just a little drop of KMF unscented does the trick rather well. I need to get my hands on some glycerine and give that a try. I've seen several people say you can pick it up in the drug store but what is it with?
 
I get glycerin at wal-mart....it's usually in the aisle where the eyedrops are. You'll need a sharp eye to spot it among all the different bottles, or at least I did.

I found it at CVS near the ladies' skin care products. Oh. Yes. I am a super/uberlather addict.
 
i also put some nivea cram in with my soaps; mostly because i find it harder to get enough soap in my badger brush (since i usually forget to soak the soap before the shower)
 
I am a big fan of uberlather (hat tip to Robert who posted above). For an unscented soap, try Mama Bear's unscented.

Superlather is soap + cream.
Uberlather is superlather + glycerin. I use a little more than most (seven drops).

For me, the big advantage is that the lather is incredibly rich and well lubricated. Plus, I have never had a poor lather since making the switch. I do uberlather every day - except when I travel.
