Now that's my idea of good research. :)

Sounds like you're ready to have some fun. Having some people you can use as "test" subjects is a perfect environment. :) Opinions are like....uh noses, we all have one. And no where is that more apparent than in these shaving soap threads. haha Truth is, different people are going to have...

Welcome back for round two. I'm thinking developing a great shaving soap might be more than a 12 round fight. :) I don't claim to be an expert on shaving soap, and in all honesty, not really sure I care to be. But I do like shaving with the ones I've made and I love the experimentation. Here's...

Sigh, just sigh. I'm starting to feel like the lone ranger over here in my SAP club. Well at least there's plenty of room to soap in the clubhouse. :)

I can hear it now.... Well we bought some framing guns as well, so we could build an addition to the house to store all the new molds I built. Then we decided, might as well build a soaping room while we're at it. (enable, enable, enable) :)

actually princess you brought up some great points. Try using that lxwxhx.40 on a 100% salt soap and watch how far off it is. It's a good starting point.

Here's a related question. Who are some good Tussah silk suppliers. I'm less than thrilled with where I've been buying it. :)

Those are some good looking swirls.

I plugged your numbers into SoapMaker3, which will give you amount of oils and estimated volume. Amount of oils. 1533.39 gr Approximate finished volume 77.121 fl oz or 2280.738 ml's

That's no fair! They should come with a label over the return address. :) Grats, I bet you will love it. I had to laugh at that one. Yeah, pretty hard to hide what that is. Now you have plenty of room for some of those "cute" shrimp. ( I caved in, yes it's a cute shrimp. :) )

I've used parchment paper, when I was out of freezer paper more than once. I never had a problem with it. That said, I think the freezer paper works really well. Holds up great to CPOP and/or non insulated soaps. Wax paper just seems like it would be a problem due to the heat of the batter.

Yeah, FightingIrish, I think I owe you an apology for hijacking your thread. I was trying to help push the SAP movenment and now we're talking about ninja shrimp. My bad. I can't actually endorse your use of lard, due to the legality's of my membership in SAP, but I do wish you success on your...

Hahahaha, I'm crying over here. That was some of the best narration I've ever heard. All of a sudden, I have a new main threat while scuba diving. I'm no longer concerned with sharks, moray's etc...I have a constant eye out for those damn clown shrimp! I only wish I could do it with that...

I rarely eat pork anymore. But I like your idea of the hardwood fire, but with beef! Slow roasted brisket, beef ribs, or a quick seared Porterhouse steak. All though, it has to be from a cow that has been given the chance to experience the wonders of a cows life. The search for that perfect...

Well, Obsidian, I'd certainly say thats a pretty shrimp, but I don't know about cute. Looks sorta like a swimming spider. :)

I've had dogs, and cats. While I can't say i like one better than the other, I love cats attitudes. That look on Cleo's face says it all, "Yeah I'm sitting up here...so what." :)

I used to live on bacon. Now I'd rather have seafood. Nice red snapper with a mango salsa. Or my seafood gumbo!.. Now I'm getting hungry. Oh, and by the way, there is no such thing as a cute shrimp. Eating a poor little piglet...almost as bad as lard in soap. :) By the way, all these comments...

While Craig is absolutely right about some product names being regulated by geography, (other examples, Bordeaux, Cognac), I can't find anything that regulates Aleppo soap. Searching for Aleppo soap on the web brings hits on lots of people selling the product. Some are using the Aleppo Style...
