Hi everyone. Been a short time lurker but just joined properly this evening as I'm interested in learning about making shaving soaps and creams. I've just recently started wet shaving as I have sebhoeric dermatitis on my face and the normal shop bought shaving foams and multi blade cartridge razors irritate it quite a bit. I've been wet shaving over two weeks now and it's been amazing the difference it has made.
I love experimenting and dabbling in different things and I think making shaving soaps would be fun and interesting. I've already looked into sources of beef suet and channel fat to render my own tallow from grass fed Irish cattle and there are a number of bee keepers local who can provide beeswax. Hoping to use mostly organic ingredients if possible.

. My son in law has skin issues. I'm researching right now for making a shaving cream. Going to read up on the forums. Tallow has such a creamy lather and a lot of goodness. Makes one realize its on the earth for a really good reason! All the best in your creations!
