Please excuse the ever so slightly off-topic post but the people that read this portion of the forum are those who I am looking to target as it pertains directly to making these soaps.
I am putting together a series of articles intended to help the first-time shaving soap maker (could be someone new to soap, or just to HP) make their own shaving soap. The section for which I am seeking an editor or editors is the "Tools and Ingredients" part. This will cover what raw materials to get, where to get the raw materials, and the tools and utensils the new soaper should collect for this project.
This is a 9 page, 4,241 word document so it's more than a forum post for sure. I'd guess it might take a person an hour or so to read and make comments.
I'm looking for someone (or maybe two someones) who is a grammar fiend, and for someone who is an experienced HP soaper. These need not be the same person of course. Being able to use Microsoft Word's markup features is preferable but not critical - I can take a Polaroid picture of hand-written Post-it notes if that's how you roll. :razz: I expect to be critically reviewed, not to be patted on the back. You have to want to tell me what I did wrong. Normally this would be perfect for my wife but she's not interested in soap.
I am not receiving any material compensation or consideration for this article, it is in no way commercial.
I am not at all certain how I will release this. As I mentioned it is too much for a forum post but I will absolutely make the finished article or articles available to everyone present and future here at the SMF. I also expect to do the same over at Badger & Blade, the place from which many of us crazy disruptive wet-saving dudes originally hail.
So, if ya want to help and have a little spare time, reply or drop me a PM. If you want to talk about how insane I am to put this much effort into an article for no compensation, that's cool too! :crazy:
