Alas, we are in what I call “Southern Florida,” which ironically is actually in northern Florida along the panhandle in Sandestin.

Very nice. Great graphic but leaves lots of white space, which I prefer

HP wasn’t nearly as intimidating as I expected. In fact, I felt as if I had more control of the process than with CP. Worst part for this recipe was getting the bentonite clay dispersed enough to incorporate.

No! We’re in Florida this week.

Marilyn, I’m sorry your son is having problems. I don’t know your faith background, but I will be praying for your safe travels and time with your son.

@Terri E Thank you, thank you for starting this ball rolling. I would never have even tried this if you hadn’t led the way. It really has a different texture, and I can see how it would work to draw out impurities (and moisture if you’re not careful). It feels a little like holding a charcoal...

I have not, but will label and list the ingredients properly since, while I’m not going to infer any therapeutic properties beyond getting you clean, many people who seek this product will do so because they have skin issues of some sort. Last thing I’d want to do is make them worse.

Ok. I just misread. Apologies.

Um....ok....thanks. I’m guessing surely you didn’t mean that to come across as harsh and condescending.

I cut a lengthwise strip/bevel off the corner. I know it's still green, but I couldn't help but rub it under water....white suds!!! I hope that holds true for the cure. As I understand it, the charcoal will remove toxins. The kaolin clay will help to retain moisture and the tea tree is...

Inquiring minds...why glycerin and stearic?

Daryl’s First-Evah Shave Soaps... I did opt for the glycerin. We’ll se how it works. Now I have to order some brushes. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/index.php?threads/Daryl’s-First-Evah-Shave-Soaps....74935/

...also my first attempt at hot process soaping. The YouTubes were honestly SO helpful. My process was text-book in every phase “mashed potato,” “applesauce,” “glue.” I knew what to expect at each step along the way.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Thanks. I forgot to add castor into my recipe, so I recalculated and updated the file. I'm debating adding a Tbsp of glycerin at the end too.

Save these color combos and make Mardi Gras soap for next February!!
