Somebody must be bored to death for something to do or got rained in today! :-)<br /><br />I haven't done a melt and mix with the VDH and Derby creams, but I did do a mix and melt wit VDH and Cremo Cream. I blogged about that several months ago over on Pleonast. <br /><br />http://pleonast.com/users/tgatzajr/entries/685100-cremo-hagen<br /><br />I could do 10 to 15 swirls on the puck and have enough lather to paint the walls. The Cremo Cream added a nice amount of slickness to the puck. Only got a bout 40 -45 shave off it though. Seems to have softened it up quite a bit. After I used up the bowl I went to the shaving stick I made with it. I've gotten to where I prefer sticks and creams to bowls. I don't have a lot of time when I shave and sticks and creams tend to go faster. Besides, I don't have a lot of dwar space for bowl and pucks.<br /><br />One thing I plan on doing is getting some smaller twist up containers and making a few half puck melts with VDH and several of my creams to see what happens.

I think it's the balance of different moisturizers that make it work better, at least when I do it with Kiss My Face cream (liquid, really).<br /><br />But for efficiency, too -- doing the mixing of water and soap in the brush/cup is easier and faster than on your face. So long as you don't try to get the air into the mix at that time, too. Save that for for face!Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.com
