Hey all! So in a prior post by MessyCouple, they said they add a small amount of J-Lube to their shaving cream slimes. I bought some the other day and am about to mix up a batch with my wife in the next few days but I had some concerns.

I literally opened it and sprinkled the absolute tiniest amount onto my fingers and then ran a tiny amount of water over it and it was incredibly slick and slimy (that's a good thing), but didn't wash off easy with water and then still took two or three passes with hand soap to get it off. That concerned me. It says on the bottle to use salt for easy clean off, but that seems inconvenient to keep salt with us in the shower.

Does anyone have any insight into how it acts when mixed into something? Is it still a pain to wash off? I'm hoping to get it going in the next three or four days or so. Any advice would be appreciated.

I believe this is a long-chain polymer. If so, it will absorb a large amount of water and tends to not want to let go of it. In other words, it takes awhile to rinse off - depending on how much you use. Having said that, if you mix with other substances, you should go on the light side at first, until you see how much you might actually need. If a little will create the stringy, slimy effect, it will rinse off easier than if you add more than you need.

Eventually, the product will absorb more water and let go of it's grip onto the moisture in human skin, which is when it rinses away. Salt will basically cut up the long chains, killing the slime and goo effect and making it faster to rinse off.

Either way, it will rinse off with water.

a little goes a long way! and mixing mixing mixing!! dont give up on mixing and pulling before adding more!! it is tedious but you will thank me later. it is a bitch to get out of long thick hair but hey, a lot of stuff is. still super fun to play in!!! so, just dont add more fuel to the fire by adding a ton more powder when its not needed. it kinda acts stagnant if you add too much powder and not enough mixing until you get in the shower and teh water and the scrubbing of your hair activates that extra powder and thickens your hair with slime! i learned that the hard way!

All right. I made two batches with each one having two cans of shaving cream and then I mixed in water. I only put the J-lube in one of them. That one definitely was the better of the two. Thicker and a little stringy and not at all tough to shower off. The batch without was super watery at the bottom and pretty much rinsed off all the foam slime that came first. Maybe I put too much water or didn't mix well enough, but I truly think the J-lube helped thicken up the second one. Overall, the coverage was nice. But the shaving cream did burn my face a little bit. I will day this though: the cleanup is an absolute breeze as compared to cake batter slimes. Overall, not bad at all.
