Taking soy out of my soaping oils due to dos on a bar that was given to me by a fellow soaper that had soy listed as their first ingredient. I don't want that happening to me so I have made a new recipe that's soy free. Would you please give me your opinion on whether you think it will be a good bar or not? I know there are a lot of oils in it but that is the way it will be until I use up the rest of my lard, pko, and stearic which I bought a bunch of. Here is the recipe:

Additives Notes
Sorry it wouldn't let me just attach the file. It kept saying invalid. I think it was trying to be a smartass calling me invalid lol.
 
Would you up the sf to keep it from being too drying? If so, to what %?
 
With 25% tallow and 30% palm it will not be to drying in my opinion, but then I am not great on superfatting. Unless you are trying to get rid of palm I would up the lard and lower the palm. They really have similiar properties and make hard soaps. I personally love lard soap!
 
Yes. O ordered 8lbs of stearic, 8 lbs of pk flakes, 50lbs of lard, and 2 50lb cubes of palm. After I use up the lard, I will only be using palm. I love lard in soap but the vegans don't. I won't be using the stearic or pkfs either because my bars were so hard that they were lasting forever. People don't have to come back to buy more very often if they last 2 months!
