Hi!
I want to do shaving soap and ja have read about it a lot. I just want some advice from experienced soapmakers, who already have made really good shaving soap.
I though about this recipe (i made it by myself):
Palm oil 150g (30%)
Castor oil 120g (24%)
Shea butter 30g (6%)
Olive oil 40g (8%)
Cocoa butter 100g (20%)
Stearic acid 35g (7%)
Coconut oil 25g (5%)
I though about adding at trace about 50 grams of glycerin and some white clay.
I would use half of water and half of coconut milk.
Superfat: 5%
Water as % of oils 38%
What do you think of that recipe? Is that good enough for shaving soap. At soapcalc.net the cleansing number is only 4, but i think thats not important or what? Creamy lather number is 60, thats pretty good i guess, because i have read that shaving soap is good when the lather is fine and creamy, not so bubbly.
I really want your advice about this recipe (A)
Thanks a lot!!!
