I'm about to try my dual-lye shave soap in my ABS cylinder mold for the first time, instead of using my round cavity molds. For my CP bar soaps, I never line or grease the cylinder mold, because the log always releases easily. Worst case scenario, I put the mold in the freezer for a bit, then pull it out to let condensation form for about ten minutes, and then tap the end of the mold gently on the ground. The CP logs release cleanly every time.
However, I am concerned that the greater stickiness of a dual-lye shave soap (v. CP bar soap) makes a liner more imperative for the former. I would appreciate any feedback from those of you who have tried this. FWIW, I do use sodium lactate, as well as lanolin, in my shave soap recipe.
