Even among the very experienced soapers here there are disagreements as to what makes a good recipe - because everyone's environment and techniques and personal taste vary so much. Some people here always use palm in their soaps, I'm not that keen on it (it seems to feel waxy to me, but I am experimenting more). I adore salt bars and soaps with lots of coconut oil, some people really dislike coconut oil soaps and find them way too drying. I do believe you have done some research, but I don't think you've done much testing.
If you're brand new to soaping, how do you know they are good recipes? Do they last for 6 months or more without developing dreaded orange spots or rancid smells? Do a good cross section of people like the way it lathers, cleans, moisturizes, conditions? Does the scent hold well or fade away after 4 months? Do they hold up well in a steamy shower or melt away after just a few uses? Do the colors hold true? Do the additives become scratchy? Do they sweat in high humidity environments? Do they soap well in both hard and soft water?
IMHO once you've done the research on all of these questions you'd know about shipping because you'd have already sent some bars to family and friends while you were researching and testing.
