    Default 2 Test batches

    Well I found we had some old soap making supplies laying around the house. So I decided to look for a shaving cream recipe. Found one that used the items I had and gave it a go.. had to modify it some and will be trying to lather it tomorrow after it has set a little while to see what happens to it.

    Good luck with your project. It sounds interesting since you can try all sorts of different scents.

    mmmm, sounds good. If it turns out alright just remember that you can use SRP members as test subjects

    Haha.. my wife was wondering where I was going to send the extra to since that much cream ( if it works ) would last me probably longer than the cream itself.. lol

    Well when I got home I checked the cream and it is more like croap ( creamy soap). Batch 1 is slick as heck but I couldn't get a decent lather.. may have added too much water to it so will try again tomorrow or the next day.

    Batch 2 wouldn't lather at all so looks like that one may be a dud for shaving but will try it again in a couple days.
