    Blacksmith Soap

    Collage of 3 soaps brother tested for blacksmith soap in summer of 2016. Borax, Pumice, and a combo of the two. He found the combination of Borax & Pumice to be most effective as a Blacksmith soap.

    BlackSmith Soap - 2017April09

    Soap I made for my brother, the blacksmith. The recipe was designed for him, based on his feedback from different formulas I tested. It is the combination of finely ground pumice plus Borax that makes this soap his favorite for cleaning blacksmithing stains. DB is the fragrance.

    Hello

    Hi. My name is Jason. My friend and I have started a little business called Benefield & Claus Mfg selling men's soaps (cold process) on Etsy.

    Alternatives to borax, boric acid

    I am about to try making liquid soap for the first time. I don't have borax or boric acid. I was wondering if i can use citric acid to neutralize it? Also, for first timer, which method is easiest? the normal method or glycerin (like soaping 101)? TIA
