Thread: What do you use for uberlather?

When I started wet shaving I saw a video on uberlathers. I tried it with VDH soap and Real cream, it gave a real nice lather and I thought all was good. This morning I used MWF with a sample of Trumpers GFT. WOW, what a difference. That got me to thinking what others use to make uberlather. So what is it guys, what is your recipe for the ultimate uberlather?

I hardly ever use it myself, but I know that MWF and Tabac cream has been great for me.
If you wanna see lots of different combos, do check out the SOTD threads.
A lot of people in there uses it, and they describe it in their threads

Here are some of my favs

Tabac soap with tabac cream
Mwf with musgo real
Dr Harris soap with dr Harris cream
Qed sandalwood soap with trumpers sandalwood cream

better products...

Still to this day there best I have used is MWF/Musgo Real/5 drops Glycerin

The Kiss My Face Shave Creams are pretty much the most universal mixer I have found...

Velrobra Soft soap / Red Proraso Cream/ 5 drops = Mambo Italiano

TOBS Lavender soap / CF Lavender cream / 5 drops = British Garden

There is a little shop in Portland that has Organic soaps their mix is one of the most skin conditioning Ubers I have ever used
here is the link to their shop Escential Lotions & Oils

Also the SRD Bulgarian Rose soap / Cyril Salter Rose cream / 5 drops Uber is awesome

Some Ubers are fantastic, others are only OK... Experiment and find out what works for you, I have problems with my well water up here so I have experimented quite a bit but the recipes I have might not work quite as well for you...

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe the lord of the soaps will chime in, is there an Obie in the house?

The best Übber ever:

Martin de Candre shaving soap + Dr Harris Lavender + Kiss my Face Lavender + Glycerin

You can make Übber with every soaps and cream, have fun!!

Trumpers hard soap and CF cream - both sandlewood - has worked well for me, although I've recently forgone the glycerin...

Also Tabac and Proraso is an interesting match....

I used to like Body Shop Macca root and Evelyn and Crabtree Nomad with glycerin, but now I really like Speick with the Nomad. TOBS Eton College and Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar with the Nomad work good too. But I like the ideas above, esp the Tabac and Proraso mix (v interesting) and DOOM's idea. This has now prompted me to mix more creams at the same time, I think Eton College and Trafalgar will go nicely together...or maybe Eton College and Macca Root...

It's fun, isn't it?

I'm the same as B, I rarely use Ublerlather but on the odd occasion I do its with Trumpers sandalwood soap, cream and skin food. Works great!

The SRD soaps also play very well with others so I've used their sandalwood with the trumpers cream and that works well too.
