I've been researching for a couple months now and have finally made the investment into getting some supplies. Here's most of the supplies I've gathered:

I'm still waiting on my digital scale to arrive. Now, my concern is with the first recipe I use. I want to work with the ingredients I already have, which is olive oil and shea butter. What I'm having trouble with is coming up with a recipe that won't fail using those 2 ingredients. I've used the SoapCalc, but I'm left wondering whether or not it's accurate and if my soap will turn out hard enough.
Can anyone help me out with a recipe using olive oil and shea butter? Are those enough to make a good batch of soap, or would I need another oil? Thanks in advance
