Thanks again for all of the advice. You guys saved me a bunch of time, and blood. I'm really glad I joined this site!

P.S. I'm shopping for a DE first.

Wellcome to SRP,used to do alot of tournament Fishing off of Kona,great fishing,great Coffee,great herbals.

Welcome, I actually was on your Island not long ago. Beautiful place. There's plenty of reliable info here to guide you along your way. Aloha.

I got it!
I tried the bottom of my neck the other day, and my whole neck today.
And... not one drop of blood so far.
Hopefully I'll be back in a few days, saying the same thing.

Thanks everybody, for all of your help!

Mohalo from a haole on the biggest island of all Australia.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy the journey, always shave for comfort is my advice to newbie’s. As far as goats milk is concerned I have heard it does not lather up too well, but have never tried it so give us your opinion.

I've been trying to resond to each post; but can't post most times I try.

I couldn't get the goat milk soap I wanted.
I got some Dr. Bronners unscented bar soap which didn't lather much; so, grated it, added some castor oil, some bentonite clay, kaolin clay, and honey to it... and it lathers like shaving cream!

Welcome aboard to the best, friendliest & knowledgable forum on the earth! You will find a wealth of information on here & I still find new things all the time on here. If you have any questions, you know what to do, just ask on the forum or even drop me a pm if you want.
Good luck!!!!

I'm interested in making shaving soap; because, I read that most shaving soaps are just soap with clay in them.
I'm interested in the ingredients to make my own soap better.
I'm infusing some oils with herbs that smell real nice, that I bought for making spiced mead. I made some shaving cream/oil from coconut oil, cocoa butter, and essential oils.
I like the shaving cream for the clean up.
What works best for you guys?
