Thread: Homemade Shaving Soap

I found another recipe that looks to have a great lather. Here is the recipe and picture from the web site.

325g Soy Wax (11.46 oz)
195g Coconut Oil (6.97 oz)
65g Cocoa Butter (2.3 oz)
65g Castor Oil (2.3 oz)
796g Water (28 oz)
44g Sodium Hydroxide (1.55 oz)
73g Potassium Hydroxide (2.61 oz)
20g Bentonite Clay
15g (.5 oz) of fragrance oil

Perhaps rosemary.

That looks to be good for the skin. The smell may remind you more of dinner than of a good shave though

It has a scent like a strong evergreen. You think of it as being associated with spaghetti sauce because it's largely associated with the Mediterranean but the next time you're in the grocery store... If your grocery stores there have herbs in them... Just go by and rub the leaves and have a sniff. It's a member of the mint family so it also has a slight tinge of catnip type scent to it.
I used to make tea from it for my wife when she got migraines. It was one of the few things that would get rid of the migraines without heavy side effects.
