    Methyl Silicone -- Anyone used liquid shortening to make soap?

    I purchased some Chef's Quality liquid shortening from my local restaurant supply a little while back and was just going to play with it this weekend. I went to a website to verify that it was actually lard with nothing else added to it, which was silly really because if it were just lard it...

    Doggie Soap (cold processed)

    That's fair. Most everything on the web has conflicting opinions. That's why it's just best to do your own research and testing. But it takes time. Any info on pets is hard to pin down since they can't talk. Not trying to be smart alecy. It's just the nature of the beast.

    My avatar is a pic of my soaps circa 2008 and I've been soaping since 2004. I found this forum (I think I've seen it before on occasion) checking to see walnut oil properties in soap. I honestly bought this walnut oil from Soapers Choice more than 10 years ago and never used a lot of it. I made...
