Is it safe / alright to take a whey / creatine shake post-workout?

yes.
You're all good - you'll often see it recommended both pre and post in combination with whey or your other supps

Take together, dose whenever.
Op taking creatine with protein is a dicey venture. When mixed they can cause acidosis of the blood. This acidosis can create a situation where your organs will deteriorate. Very bad Dr. Jones.

The one thing that I have found when mixing whey and creatine (pure powder) is that the creatine sometimes ends up on the bottom of your shaker cup if you don't drink it fast. If your the type of person that likes to take a swig every few seconds instead of just chug your protein shake down, make sure you shake everything up in between swigs so the creatine doesn't end up on the bottom of the cup.
Let's talk about the benefits of taking creatine with whey:
- Whey triggers insulin secretion
- Insulin aids creatin absorption
- Instant success!
That's why I mix my mono into my breakfast shake :)

XF 2.0 does also. You are good to go! ;)
Yes, I do it all the time.
it's definitely ok to do this man. it's actually a great time to take them together since you're depleted and all those nutrients will flush into the muscles right when you need them. i take creatine and one scoop of whey immediately post workout and then an hour later i have a whole food meal and this has really seemed to work for me.

Why does that matter when already saturated?
Very common, nothing to worry about. I mix mine with protein, coffee, ice tea, etc...
[QUOTE=rhadam;887185521]Why does that matter when already saturated?[/QUOTE]True. In some degree. But irrelevant, if I have to be honest. If the uptake ratio is increased, you could lower the dosage (which probably nobody will, it's cheap and it's not dangerous) or, assuming you had a very depleting workout and no PWO or whatevs, it could help overcoming those shortcomings.
I know, you shouldn't feed trolls and ignore some attempts, but I don't think you're a troll, thus I answer :)
I've been taking Creatine and Whey Protein for the past month or more together. I just space the time out a little bit (Creatine first then Protein 5-10 minutes later). This way my stomach doesn't go nuts on me. I haven't had any adverse affects yet.

Yes. It's a good combo.
