I made my third batch of cold process soap. The first 2 batches came out great. I decided to make oatmeal soap following a different recipe using shortening as well as coconut oil, olive oil, lye and water. I added honey almond extract after trace. It's been 48 hours and the soap is soft is spots and very oily. What went wrong? Should I rebatch? If so, I never rebatched before - which is the best way?

Here is the recipe:
24 oz olive oil
24 oz coconut oil
38 oz vegetable shortening
12 oz lye
32 oz distilled water
8 oz powdered oatmeal
