Not disagreeing with you Herb, but I have had success by offsetting (not by much) with no resulting phasing effect and it definitely fattened the sound. Detuning can help a little too.

But most of the time, like you, I just record multiple versions of the vocal (as you indicated) to accomplish it; however, it is sometimes difficult to nail it each time and it's really a matter of how much time I have to do it.
