Hi All
I've been looking for ages for a shaving soap that I really like and haven't found one, so I've decided to make some instead (after all how hard can it be :crazy I've got a recipe that seems to tick all the boxes, in theory at least, and I'm going to try that at the weekend.
The thing is, most shaving soaps (even the hard ones) seem to use a mixture of KOH and NaOH. My question is can I still cp with a proportion of KOH in the mix? I've only managed to find reference to liquid soaps using hp with KOH. The other thing is, has anyone got any suggestions regarding proportions of both types of lye. There doesn't seem to be much information about DIY shaving soaps anywhere.
Any advice would be very welcome
Thanks.
