Hello! I have soaped for 2 years. Tell me your opinion or advice on this recipe please.

65.0% lard
26.0% coconut oil
9% olive oil

7.5 super fat

Thanks in advance
 
I have found that I dont get dry skin from a 70% Olive oil, 30% coconut oil 6-7% SF recipe (as opposed to default 5%), so I think your soap would be ok because your SF is 7.5%

However if you can get your hands on some castor oil at 5% (many pharmacies carry it) you will see better lasting bubbles. Some people love higher than 5% superfats, others prefer to balance their soaps so they dont need a high superfat.
 
I'd probably cut the olive oil out, lower the coconut to between 10-20% and sub a butter in there for remainder percentage. I'd also add a tsp of simple syrup to help with bubbles.
