The times that I've used mixed soaps, which I generally only do for pragmatic reasons, it has always seemed to add the best qualities of each.
I’m wondering if anyone has seen anything like a combo soap with two different kinds in one dish. I would love to try a pure glycerin puck inside a harder soap like MdC or Catie’s Bubbles. I love the slickness of glycerin and the cushion of triple-milled soaps. I was thinking of using a round cookie cutter to cut out the two soaps. Any thoughts?
An easier way than grating, melting, etc is this: take any two round pucks of soap, cut them in half, then just place them in a container so the cut sides meet, forming a round puck that is almost exactly half one soap and half the other.
Voila!
Not sure what you’re talking about...So... is this supposed to reference the obvious?
That's awesome. Great name for the new soap as well. I think we may be onto something with this combination stuff. Perhaps there needs to be a new thread for "recipes" for soap combos.I agree with the consensus here that combining two soaps can yield results that are greater than the sum of the parts. i grated half a puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat with a full puck of Haslinger's Schafmilch (tallow version). This may very well be the best soap I have in my entire den. And I have over 50 soaps and creams. After some discussion with fellow members we named it The Fat 'As. It's insanely good. Lathers like a beast. Slickest soap I have with the most cushion and amazing post shave face feel. And the scent is a nice clean scent. I never liked either scent alone.
