My soaps are 100% KOH, so are Silly Putty consistency months later.

I don't think I added enough FOs at the end of my hot processes? My experimentation's have been 3 grams of FOs per 4 ounces of soap. That's a little over 2%. I went low not knowing what the result might be. The results were weak.

I've now taken a couple of those months old tubs and added 2 more grams of FO. (smooshing in with a fork and then squishing with my hands) It seems to work? Soaps are a little softer, a tad greasier but still lather well. (talking shaving soaps)

Has anyone ever done this?
