Hello you lovely lot.
As I'm more scientific and a bit OCD in the kitchen, I identified, a long time ago, I'd probably be better suited to soap making than food making. So yesterday I gave it a go and loved it.
However the results were not perfect and I be grateful of some advice to get my recipe on the right track.
Here's my recipe:
It resulted in 8 bars (+ spare lump) of vaguely scented, slightly sticky, not very lathery soap.
I'm getting the vibe that I need to radically increase the percentage of all the non-base ingredients.
I'm going for a creamy, non-drying soap that has the aroma of surf wax, i.e sweet coconut/vanilla.
Any advice at all would be gratefully received and much appreciated.
Cheers, Dan
