Modified a soap bar for shave soap, double boiler
I have always had acne issues but none for a long time except for the occasional mark. I took matters in my own hands and made my own soap. Here is what I did. If anyone has additional suggestions please let me know. Thanks guys!
Grated a bar of Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar(non-comedogenic)
Put it in a double boiler with a T jojoba oil over medium heat and mixed until melted to a working consistency.
Once hot enough added essential oils...about 60% lavender, 35% atlas cedarwood, and the last 15 percent Rosemary and thyme oils.
Dumped the mixture in a plastic screw top container and let it cool.
It smells pretty damn good!!
Last night I worked up a lather and shaved but I might be able to work on the lather.
First I took my crappy made rite pure bristle brush and let it sit in my mug for 5 min.
Then after shaking most of water out loaded the brush for about 30 sec
Someone on SRP made a similar recipe and then tipped the brush up. Made an impression in the center and added glycerin and castor oil. So that's what I did. 6 drops each.
Worked it into a thick lather for 2 to 3 minutes.
I tested the lather by putting on my wifes leg and after 15 minutes the lather looked like it was just put on.
The only hang up is it seemed a little thin. Could this be from too much water or not working the lather enough. Thanks for the help.
