I have this shaving soap I've made that I want to modify to have a bigger, more stable lather. Currently it reads:
9.9 oz rice bran oil
6.6 oz coconut oil
6.6 oz pko
5 oz castor oil
3.3 oz avocado bitter
1.7 oz cocoa butter
4.4 oz lye
10.9 oz water
So...I'm thinking that I need more coconut oil for the lather. I don't want to increase the total batch size since this recipe completely maxes out the mold I'm using. I could do with a smaller batch, really. So maybe if I just reduce the rice bran oil, that would make the coconut oil ratio higher and that would do it? Obviously lye with the. Have to be recalculated. Any thoughts are appreciated.
