Thread: Soapmaking lather question?

I'm not sure how many soap makers we have but I recently tried my hand at making a batch of shaving soap using a recipe I found online. It's cured for a little over 4 weeks and is reasonably hard so I gave it a try this morning. It seemed to lather up fairly well but the lather was almost gone on the rest of my face by the time I got the first cheek shaved. My question is what would cause this?

Here is the recipe I used and scented it with tea tree/cedarwood/cyprus

10oz Castor Oil
10oz Coconut Oil
8oz Grapeseed Oil
30oz Olive Oil
