Could you use salt and borax together in CP? Salt disolved in with the water not oils like a salt bar.
 
With great regard to my friend @artemis , I will caution against using additional salt. My early borax recipes had borax (a salt), sea salt (a salt), and sodium lactate (a salt). They turned out very crumbly. More deets at Borax soap

You'll love the borax! It's a gamechanger. Keep us posted.
 
I hadn't considered it being crumbly, I was more concered on how or if they would react with each other and the lye.
Im planning a Borax bar for extra dirty hands like mentioned in other threads and thought adding salt to harden it would be a good idea.

Thanks for the help Zing.
