Greetings from Maryland (USA). I don't know that I would ever make my own soap but found you to be quite delightful, easy to watch and interesting. At age 58, I'm new to the wet shaving/safety razor world and still trying to figure out the pucks, loading a brush and the best razor blades. The only thing I can say for sure is that it gets a little easier each day.

Ellys, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free! You are amazing! ❤🤩 I’d like to share my experience making this recipe today. I started by just mixing with a whisk, but I found the texture too thin, so I decided to use a mixer, fearing I hadn’t mixed it enough and might ruin the recipe. The mixture thickens very quickly due to the soywax, and for those planning to make it for sale, be careful, as it’s hard to pour it neatly into the moulds. I’ll be back soon to say whether my recipe worked and share my opinion. 😊

I made this yesterday and didn't have a spritzer bottle to spray and as a result I got soda ash. I can see it has soda ash on top and it is speckled down the debth of it ...about 1 cm. Is that ok to use? Does it just reduce the quality somehow?

Hi Elly, thanks for your amazing videos. I just made this and about a week later it seems a bit lye heavy still when I test the pH. Can I recook this as a hot batch soap? I am not sure what I did wrong, as I very precisely followed your excellent instructions, but it did seem to take a long time to trace then went thick quickly - perhaps the essential oils? It did transform like normal soaps then just took ages .. I am concerned that it solidified simply because it got cool enough to because of the soy wax...

Thanks for the video. Apart from hard/soft water, what is the most prominent feature/ingredient/process to ensure a residual slickness? Many shaving soaps will leave you with a moist but 'sticky' skin, one can basically pass a razor over your skin once or twice, but once the lather is removed by the blade, that's it. Then there are others where I can do stroke after stroke (up to 10 strokes with a straight razor) and the slippery sensation simply remains. The soaps in the latter category also takes quite some time to rinse from your brush.
@EllysEverydaySoapMaking2 жыл бұрын
I think that commercially made shaving soaps have more residual slick to them, whereas this performs more like a normal soap and washes off quite readily. To be honest, I have not used this soap a lot myself - mainly made for friends and regular face shaving folk!

Thank you Nancy. This soap lasts as long as any other if stored well. And yes I chose the 'fully hydrogenated' option in soap calc.

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking thanks for answering, I'll tell you that 2 days ago I made shaving soap, I put goat's milk, silk, I didn't put sodium citrate but I was tempted to do it, it's already drying I'll wait 6 weeks and try it, thank you very much

hi elly , loved your video , what are the percentages that you used for this recipe ? and what did you put as soy wax in soapcal ? (cant find it)

Hi Jose, you can work out the percentages by dividing each part by the total and multiplying the result by 100. Soap calc is hydrogenated soy oil in soap calc :)
