New to soapmaking.

[Billy1981]

Hi, my name is Billy and I’m new to soap making. I’m just starting to buy everything I need to make soap. I plan to make shaving soap as I’m an avid wet shaver. If anyone has any tips, it would help tremendously. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and learning more about soap making.

Hi Billy

I would suggest starting here if you want to learn about making shaving soap.

It's not a short thread, but lots of different recipes with the pros and cons discussed back and forth. It is pretty much "shaving soap 101".

Welcome, Billy! :wave:

We have some really good threads on making wet-shaving soap. Besides the excellent thread the good Gent mentioned, here is another one: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=47002&highlight=NaOh It's also a long read, but full of helpful info.
