One of my aunts has a 96 year old friend who makes a soap for her that she really likes. This lady is getting on in years (!!!) and doesn't know how much longer she will be able to make soap, so I offered to take over making it for my aunt. I'll list the recipe here so y'all can comment if that's ok.
It looks kind of odd to me, but my aunt loves it.
5 1/2 pints cold water
5 lbs lard
1 can lye
1/4 cup ammonia
Mix all this up and stir slowly for 10 minutes
then add...
2T borax
2T sugar
2T glycerin
1T salt
Mix in and stir slowly for another 10 minutes then pour into mold.
Running it through SoapCalc, it looks lye heavy to me.
