I've read this shaving soap thread though several times.
https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/my-first-shaving-soap-is-a-success.34264/
I'm planning on using roughly the method @DeeAnna outlined in post #50.
I've attached the recipe I've settled on, but I would love to have it checked.

This will be my first time using KOH, and first hot process style soap, so I hope I'm understanding everything correctly! I've settled on a 70% KOH, 30% NaOH ratio for now because I want to start with it fairly low, but I'm not comfortable with the small amounts of NaOH a 20% ratio would require, because of the accuracy of my scale.
I'm so excited, all my supplies arrived today!!
