Hi all,
I made a shaving soap with 8% super fat and it looks like drying takes forever. this is my second day. I used online calculator and it is cold method. so far I made 3 different soaps and all 3 of them I used next day and looking at the PH level came out about 10 ph. shaving soap came up really nice except drying issue. I put 2 of them in oven and became a gel then I noticed it helps but it lost the look and shapes. all measurements are accurate. what do you think?
Shaving Soap: all measurement are OZ
Olive Oil 11.95
Coconut Oil, 76 deg 5.30
Castor Oil 5.30
Almond Oil, sweet 1.85
Shea Butter 1.50
Palm Oil 2.10
Water 10.64
Lye 3.70
Oils 28.00
Hardness 29 - 54 29
Cleansing 12 - 22 13
Conditioning 44 - 69 68
Bubbly 14 - 46 30
Creamy 16 - 48 33
Colloidal Oatmeal = 2 table spoon
Bentonite Clay = 1.5 table spoons
8% super fat
thanks
Andre
