Milling two soaps together?

[Loric]

Has anyone milled two soaps and mixed them together? I love my MWF but wish it had a nice aroma to it. I have been toying with the idea of mixing it with some Mama Bear or GFT soaps that smell better.

I think the MWF/GFT would be fine as both seem to have similar lathering properties. However, Mama Bear loads a little different on a brush so that might be problematic. I felt it best to ask here before I potentially ruin 2 pucks of great soap.

Also would milling MWF with a cream in something like a 3:1 ratio yield a soft soap something like Proraso soap?

Wmf?

I'm going to guess he meant MWF. And I'd be kind of curious about the general concept of this as well.

I mixed Col. Conk's almond and bay rum and I like the resulting scent

I've milled MWF and L'occitane Cade together. It was just how you imagine it would be...............Fantastic!

Hehe yes MWF or Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap. "fix all" for the loss...

I am glad this should work. Now the only question is to re-use a soap bowl or just go for the shave stick???

I would suggest blending it in small test batches, different ratios and whatnot, to see which yields the results you like most.

And then post your findings here of course.

When I figured out that I don't like face lathering, I did this with a Speick shave stick and 2 samples of P160 that I had laying around.

There is a lot more Speick than the P160, but its' fragrance is a lot less.

I did it just to free up space.

In a Tupperware bowl, I grated the P160 right on top of the Speick, added a little water, and smoothed it down with a large spoon.

I guess we could call it FrankenSoap.

I milled some MWF and added to a freshly melted (microwaved for 25 seconds) Col. Conk's Bay Rum, stirring them together well. It was an interesting experiment, but not something I would try on a regular basis. I like MWF just the way it is.

I just did this for the 1st time last week.
i had about 1/3 of a puck of MWF and about a half stick of Valobra that I grated together.

I've only used it once so far, but it was pretty good.
It needs to firm up a little more before I use it again. I need to press it down with something other than my thumbs
