Aqua Velva Ice Blue Scented Soap

I'm going to try Nivea 2 in 1 + Williams. Would this be a good idea? And what would it be called? (WahPow Willy?)
 
Most of these have names already, the last time I hosted this we had over 50 participants. Of course, you are making it for yourself to use, you can call it whatever you like.

The Williams 3017 starts on Feb 2nd. I’ll get a post going as soon as I can.
 
Let me ask a question...

There was a post suggesting Lucky Tiger, which I think is devoid of alcohol. How would that work evaporating and incorporating?

Also, what about the Vanilla Bourbon AS from Nivea? It's labeled as a lotion, though I am pretty sure it has a watery consistency. That labeling could be because it's first ingredient is water, and alcohol is lower in the mix? Not sure. Does it need to be a true to form AS to work with this recipe?

Thanks.

I know folks have done this with lucky tiger before, AKA Tiger Willy, but I don’t remember the results. Full disclosure, I think the alcohol in the mix kinda makes Williams lather a little bit worse. So maybe using LT would give better results. It would take. Lot longer to evaporate though, I’d imagine. But that’s the only problem I see.

Lotion is an old term used for aftershaves, and does not mean it’s a cream like we thin in terms of hand/body lotion. Lotion does not equal balm. The vanilla bourbon is a normal aftershave splash.

Thanks @Spider . Maybe I'll hunt the Nivea down then to see if the scent works for me. [emoji106]
 
Well, they didn't have it in stock so instead of wasting time, I just blind ordered it. Here's hoping!
 
I didn’t have any Williams Mug Soap but while I was stuck at home waiting for COVID test results, I decided to give it a try with some Murphy and McNeil Nil and a little bit of Kouros Yves Saint Laurent... Smelled like a friggin urinal cake [emoji1785]. If you ever have a chance to do that, go ahead and pass on it. Back to the drawing board.
