    Solid Shave Gel

    It was the Remay shave gel. They only said coconut oil and tea tree oil.

    Thanks for the link! I may have to try it just to see if I can :) and if my husband likes it.

    Solid Shave Gel

    I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it - I was actually making soap at the time the ad came on so I was just barely listening. My husband prefers gels to actual soap bars so I was just curious if this was something someone might have an idea on. I was toying with it and thought it...

    Solid Shave Gel

    I saw an ad on TV, it was for a solid shave gel for men with beards. I was just curious if anyone had attempted or made a "solid" shave gel. Ive been toying with the idea. Supposedly you just rub the "bar" on your face and then shave. Ideas?

    100% tallow soap

    I did not try the zap test yet, I rendered my own tallow - no salt or baking soda, just a little water when I rendered it, then I double filter it. I did not even think to zap test it, I was so flustered with the fat that was just sitting in the mold that I thought the soap was not usable.

    100% tallow soap

    I cooked it in a crock pot on low, lid on. I did stir at 30 minutes because it just did not seem to be "gelling" for me. I have not ever had this happen before. I'm just at the point of trying to figure out if I can rebatch or if it goes into the trash.

    100% tallow soap

    It "cooked" for 45 minutes. Not the best pic ever, but this is what I ended up with. No fragrance or color added.

    100% tallow soap

    I did hot process it. The recipe was 32 Oz tallow, 12.16 Oz water, 4.56 lye. I don't have a pic at this time, but I will try to post one this evening. Thanks for yall's response.

    100% tallow soap

    Tried to make a batch of 100% tallow soap for laundry use, 0 superfat. Never really a good trace and had fat sitting loose. Hot process, ran through the soap calc 3 times. Is there any way to save it now? Thanks for any help or insight.
