Ever wonder if there's any use for that almost full bowl of perfectly good lather remaining after a great shave, as you rinse it down the drain?



I had just whipped up a blend of creams to see if I could improve on my Cremogena, and hit upon a fantastic blend. I had already shaved earlier in the day, and it seemed to be a waste to just dump it, so I let it sit in a covered bowl overnite. It breaks down overnite, water separating out, but it also whips back up with a vengeance with a lightly damp brush. I don't leave it in the kitchen next to the block of cheese, or next to the laundry bin of musty gym socks, nor out on the sidewalk, so I'm not overly concerned with creating some overnite nasty fungal overgrowth. I also don't plan on storing it on the shelf for days or weeks, either. Just overnite - and it whipped up maybe even fluffier than the original previous days' lather.



For the spendy prices some pay for their favorite suds, it seems foolish to just discard a goodly quantity remaining after the morning shave.
