You can sub RBO for Olive Oil in LS, however, if using 100% OO or RBO you can expect a loooooong trace time (45 minutes ?) and long cook (10 hours for me the first time I made it.) If you combine it with Coconut Oil 50%, Castor 15%, RBO 35% it will trace faster (12-15 minutes) and have a better consistency after dilution.
If you've never made LS before:

You're welcome, Sunibee.
TIP: If you want clear LS, instead of shea butter, use shea oil or reduce the amount of butter to 2%.

I'm so sorry. I have no experience using dual lye to make LS. Hopefully, someone else will come along to help you.
