So, I should probably be slapped, but I've been making soap for over three years and have never adjusted the oils for a recipe via soap calculator. When I first started making soap, I just found a few recipes that I liked and that were dependable and have been using them ever since. So, I've decided to branch out and adjust my recipes to see if I can get a harder bar that lathers a little better. Here is my adjusted recipe...I just want to see if anyone sees anything that's glaringly wrong or that I could do differently to get more lather and hardness in the batch. Thanks in advance!
