I might do that and just add all the fats, butters and, glycerin at the start.

I can never remember correctly terminology but how would so much oleic be showing up? The recipe says it should be at a 7.

I added the glycerin towards the end of the cooking.

I think I know what this is (glycerin rivers) but I'm a little confused because I only see stuff about it for CP soap. This is a HP shaving soap recipe that I'm working on at the moment it uses lanolin and Shea butter as side ingredients as well as 2 table of glycerin. Any suggestions?

Fixedish :D

I love the bleeding effect! It looks really cool

That's at least something :lol:

For some reason the photos beyond the first on won't show.. But they show when I try to edit it.. Help?

Okay so the recipe is super simple. This will be a small batch of about 100g of oil. I don't have a crock pot or a double boiler so I improvised. I cranked up the heat and way I go. It worked! Did I mention I've never done a HP soap. Added the KOH and that happened fast.. I was going...

So far I'm just trying to make a small furnace that will heat metal up enough for me to move it. No luck so far but I've made progress it's not just turning into dust now.. It's just cracking Your brother is an awesome guy!

I haven't posted sooner because I've been fumbling around trying to find out info on what makes a good shaving soap and from what I have found KoH is important and was the last ingredient I got along with the lanolin but these are the ingredients I have for my "first" real attempt at making...

Looks like living in New Zealand is grate for anyone that wants to make shaving soap. I found one or two recipes that I want to try but I would be open to any ideas of other shaving soap recipes with these ingredients in them.

Thank you! I'm slowly reading through it and trying to decide on my first "real attempt" at shaving soap. I'm guessing I'll have to post a bigger more detailed description of what I'm going to do in a more appropriate place on this forum so feel free to critique whatever I come up with if you...

Hi all. I've started this little venture because I wanted to make myself some shaving soap and spending $60 NZD on something that will last me a long time that I might not like is a little... Uncomfortable for me. So I decided I'll make it myself. I haven't found any answers to the questions I...
