    LOL with M&P you should be safe.
    Hope you got a nice scent for her soap, too

    Try with half an ounce per pound.

    Funny you should ask. Just last week, I melted a bowl of stuff that I bought on e-bay a year ago, by the pound and mixed in some Ogalalla Bay Rum straight from the sample bottle (great stuff, that Ogallala, but hard to spell.) I used the cologne rather than the AF, as it's less expensive. The results were quite satisfactory. In the future, I would be a little more generous with the additive. An amusing anecdote. I had a small bit of melt and pour left in the bowl. I thought I'd try a trick I read about in the forums and poured some hot water into the bowl before I showered. When I dumped out the water, the bowl was empty! It melts at lower tempratures than i expected.

    I have been making my own soaps for years. I get my supplies from the Chemistry Store, The Chemistry Store.com - Serving The Soapmaker, Hobbyist, Student, School and Industry. I use the Olive Oil soap, and add some Bentonite Clay, and some Bay Rum fragrance, or Lavender, and pour it into the little round molds. It is the best soap money can buy.

    I've been making my own after shaves as well, my wifes perfumes, and other toiletries, as well as candles.

    Empowerment is a wonderful thing......

    I was going to say, I've gotten on a kick of trying to make my own shaving soap using unscented clearly natural as the base due to it's VERY soft and great WTG shaves i've gotten in it's stock form. I'm planning on cutting 1/2 a bar, putting in some clay and boiling down an oz of dark rum and putting that in. I'll tell ya how it goes
