"Need help with shaving cream slime"
So, I'd seen some content here a while back (I think from Messy Couple) with this wonderful looking foamy slime. I asked about the recipe and was told it was shaving cream, water, and some J-lube powder. I'd tried it a couple times on myself and then having my wife slime me with it, all while I'm trying to perfect the recipe.
Last night, my wife allowed me to slime her with it just to see if she would prefer it over cake batter slimes. Now, she DID like the texture and the look of it and said the cleanup being so much easier was definitely preferable to cake batter.
However, each time I've made these shaving cream slimes, I just can't avoid the way the water settles at the bottom. I wouldn't worry about it normally, except when you color it with food coloring, that water at the bottom may as well be Kool-aid. Luckily, the one I slimes her with last night was pink, so the little bit of staining that there was on her skin looked like it could just be a sunburn or a scratch (there were reddish drip lines down her legs). But I was slimed with blue and it stained my feet and underarms (maybe stuck to my deodorant?).
Has anyone cracked the code on making shaving cream slimes to solve this problem? I don't mind continually trying out different recipes, and I feel like I'm close. Just need some advice.
Thanks in advance.

Many years ago a then g/f and I experimented with mixing bubble bath and shaving foam to make pies and cover each other with, it looked spectacular when I planted one on the back of her knee length uniform skirt, the foam gave it body and the bubble bath gave it colour and sloppiness. However she found it caused itching after about half an hour of exposure at which point we had to wash off. Never did find out if it was the shaving foam of the bubble bath that caused the effect. It was very easy to wash off.

I have mixed shaving foam and water (or in your case, colored water) many times. I can't comment on staining, as I haven't had that problem, but the mixing of shaving foam and water is tricky to say the least.
The foam is super-light in weight, and as we all know, water is extremely heavy. Mixing it in any normal manner just won't work. You need to lift the water up so that it falls into the foam, again and again. A burger-flipper (solid metal) would work well. The water MUST be splashed over the top of the foam repeatedly if it is to mix. It's not that the water has 'settled' as you mentioned, but that it never fully got mixed and hid at the bottom. If you truly get all of the water splashed over top of the foam so that it sinks in and then stir it up, it will work. I've even used a plastic dustpan to scoop water up over shaving foam so that it is forced to mix together. Stirring, even with a paint mixer, generally only stirs the foam as it sits over the water. If the mixer is in the water, it will stir that without mixing it with the foam. Lifting the water to fall onto the foam is the only real way to mix foam with water. Also, once some has mixed and the consistency improves, you'll think it's all mixed in, yet there may still be lots of water at the bottom. It's worth the effort to make sure it's truly mixed though. And once mixed, it tends to stay that way. The water won't 'settle' out of it.
To mix water, powdered j-lube and foam, I would mix the water and j-lube first. It will still be heavy, but easier to blend in with the foam if pre-mixed.

That's really clever to do the water and J-Lube first... I'll try it. Thanks.

Checking now. Thanks.
I tend to mix by "folding" water in to the foam, but then I transfer the mix in to another container before use to ensure no residual liquid. Found that soap dye works better than modern "natural" food colouring, stronger colours, similar price, and so far no staining of skin or clothing.
Hi i quite like 2 parts shaving foam to 1 part flour and add some water and food colouring makes good slime also make up water and xanthan gum to a slimey paste and add shaving foam ,mixing both types well in. 
I have made shaving cream slime with J-Lube several times and what I found that works best for me is not the ingredients but how you mix it. I recommend picking up a paint mixer attachment at your local home improvement store. They are pretty inexpensive and they save the manual labor. They attach to any drill and while you still have to "fold" the water in, it takes less time and elbow grease to get it done. I have added a picture of one that I purchased from Home Depot. It was only $8. I use it solely for messy ingredients. It works great with all sorts of stull.
 Love you, too |
So what would be the right mix if I would mix shaving cream to methyl celulose slime?
For a 5 gallon bucket I would fill the bucket with warm water.. add color.. add methyl (1.5-2 cups) and mix it.. but at what step should I add shaving cream and how much of it?
