I finally sent soap to family in Arizona. After trying a soft oil bar that has a little palm and a lard-based bar, they’re sold on lard. My MIL, who grew up on a ranch in a very isolated area of South Dakota, also shared her recollections of her mom making lard soap with wood ashes. That soap got the clothes clean, but it wasn’t what they used for bathing. She’s tickled to have “fancy” lard soap.

This is better, and was even nicer before I banged the mold to try to settled down what I was doing at the other end.

I found a recipe for a CP shave soap that I tried--its not done curing yet but am wondering if anybody would know if there is a reason that KOH would have to be used.
