The recipe looks fine, although I would not have used that much water during saponification.

Are you using distilled or demineralized water or are you using tap water?

What is best methodology for preparation of soap

Yes, tap water can be a problem. Use distilled or demineralized water for making liquid soap. Also use this water for diluting and testing the soap.
