My husband uses Cremo (a creamy shaving cream...it's not a traditional wet shaving soap) that he shaves with. I would love to make something like it for him. Has anyone made a shaving cream like this? If so, would you be willing to share a recipe or technique?

I've been loving SwiftCraftMonkey's e-book, "Lotion Making 101" these past few months. Made my first, true body butter cream the other day and I'm in love! Her recipe technique uses a true water phase, oil phase, and cool down phase, which includes a 20 minute "heat and hold" process to help...

This seems like an easy answer, but I always over think things... I'm melting down some CP soap for a rebatch and would like to have 2 different color layers in the soap: a darker color on the bottom of the mold and a lighter one on top. I'm only coloring half of the soap and leaving the...

So I tried out a new slab soap mold w/dividers in it this week and had a devil of a time getting the soap out. I know you have to slide versus pull, but it was still a bear. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this easier? I've heard some people rub cyclomethicone or an oil on...

I made a batch of soap a few days ago and didn't like how the tops turned out, so I cut them off. I would like to pipe a CP topping on them, but don't know if this would work on soap that has already saponified for a few days. Usually I pipe a topping at the same time I make soap, so I'm...

I'm not sure if what I have is stearic streaks/spots or deep soda ash. I KNOW it's not lye, as I did the "zap" test...just soap. My recipe is on the Soap Calc pic, and I soaped at 103° for the oils and 113° for the lye water. I don't get this on my smaller, 3 lb. batches; this was for a 5 lb...

I've been tweaking my BB recipe to get that perfect bomb and I like the use of SLSA in them; however, I do notice the bombs tend to have a "chalky" or more "powdery" feel/finish to them when I use SLSA. I primarily use light oils in my BB recipe and thought that by using a hard butter like...

Hello everyone! I'm a new member, but a long time stalker. I finally jumped into the deep end of bath bomb making 2 months ago and have been making sample bath bombs almost every day to see what works and what doesn't. I've been tweaking as I go along in order to find my "ideal" recipe...
