I'm going to try my hand at making shaving cream. I'm going to make a small batch at first, so I'm not stuck with a years' worth of stuff-not-fit-for-shaving. Here's the recipe I'm planning on trying (please excuse the metric system):
50g Olive oil
50g Castor oil
50g Coconut butter
50g Rapeseed oil
10g glycerine
Lye:
28g NaOH
1 dl water
~1 tsp bentonite clay
~15 drops lavender EO
The lye discount is around 4%
So, does anyone here notice something horribly wrong with this recipe?
Changelog:
Aug. 21st: added ~1 tsp bentonite clay
Aug. 27th: Can't get KOH from anywhere, changed to pure NaOH, scrapped the idea of cream soap. Replaced Sunflower with Rapeseed oil. Reduced lye discount to 4%.
