Creating A Supersoap - Mixing Tabac & Mitchell's Wool Fat

Soap sticks really get the soap onto the beard & are versatile, wish more soaps came in stick form.

[@kevyshaves4109]

Agreed! I really enjoy shave sticks. Kevy 👍

[@keithosmond5730]

Italian Barber has a set of four sticks (different scents) on sale; used the first one (Black Label) this morning and it's pretty good. Other than Arko (which I really like), they are the only sticks I've used so far.

[@magnoliamike]

There ya have it folks!!!! TA-FAT!!! Great idea for the shave stick

Brilliant! It explains why you were looking for a Mitchell's pot & lid a couple of weeks ago.

Correct! The wheels were turning back then for this idea 😀

Meanwhile on HMS Dundee: Bosun: I just saw the Cap’n in the Ship’s galley. XO: What’s he doing down there. Bosun: He was grading up some soap pucks of Mitchell’s Wool Fat and Tabac and creating a custom shave soap. XO: Ah...that explains it! Bosun: Explains what? XO: I was getting numerous reports of a tobacco scent in the ships ventilation system. Bosun: Right...this is a no smoking ship! Got it! I need to try this with an unscented soap mixed with MWF. Cheers to you and yours. 🤠

[@DismontDeSire]

Oh, this is so touching. I rubbed and tamped the shaving soap into the jar several times. I even have a grater almost the same. With flat handle only. Thanks Kevy, this video made my day!

[@GeorgeKanatas]

I have done something similar with eucris hard pack (unlatherable soap), and haslinger sheep, because it is almost scent less. Now I have a hard pack of eucris that creates great lather!

[@GeorgeKanatas]

@Apostolos Kαν είναι σκληρό και αυτό γιατί δεν θυμάμαι, θα σου έλεγα με το eucris που έχει θεϊκό άρωμα.

[@GeorgeKanatas]

@Apostolos K κρέμα μόνο με κρέμα μπορείς, και το σκληρό με τα σκληρά. Θα σου πρότεινα να την κρατήσεις ως έχει για να δημιουργείς super lather. Εγώ έχω μία unscented cyril salter για σαπούνια όπως τα Proraso που μου αρέσει το άρωμα τους, αλλά από ιδιότητες δεν. Τα μπουστάρεις με λίγη κρέμα και απογειώνονται 😉

Interesting vid, Kevy. I’ll have to see the Tafat in action before I’ll grate mine...😁 Have great week And Stay Safe!! 🤙

[@harehak9606]

Nice idea this. I've sometimes put a small amount of shave cream (like Palmolive sensitive) in with my Mitchells Wool Fat lather. That takes away any problems with regards building a good lather, and the result is amazing. Lathering properties of a shave cream combined with MWF slickness👍

I like the name Woolbac better :) I've bought some essential lime oil with idea of mixing it into som MWF, to get a lime scented Wool Fat. Nice 👍

[@terrym1065]

Kevy👍👍 I did this with Arko shave sticks, used a little finer sized grate and filled a Captain's Choice soap bowl. Works like a charm and I don't have all those little sticks of Arko rolling around. I'll bet your efforts turn out great with a nice lathering soap, waiting now for the second part of the experiment...the use. Cheers.

Would melting the mixture in a microwave, mixing and allowing to harden into a perfect puck work?

Have you thought about melting it down, similar process to chocolate and then pouring it into the container like a hot wax and then letting it set naturally

[@MrRourk]

Heat is bad for tallow soaps. I have to be careful here in our scorching Arizona Summers. The Tallow will go rancid.

[@jmr5707]

I love this idea, but the fragrance of Tabac is a non-starter for me. I like the base, but can't get passed the smell😝 It's horrible... I don't smell anything redeeming in it. What am I missing? Was mine spoiled, or something? -

[@kevyshaves4109]

It's not for everyone. I thought it woukd overpower the MWF, but its a nice balanced scent. Kevy 🙂

It just goes to show people's sense of smell varies; i absolutely love the scent of tabac!

@@ThePad549 - Yeah, I know. I've heard this before. I think they even make a cologne of it, so I can only conclude that my stick was bad. To me, it just smells like.... ass... I don't know. I believe Fine Accoutrements uses the same base with better frag's. I'll stick to those. -

[@rithikpatney1924]

Kevy and the shaving community, hope everyone is well. Today was my first time trying a safety razor, I used the pearl closed comb (costed around 6 pounds) with the Bic blade. My first pass barely cut any whiskers, I do have a thick growth and shave daily. 3rd pass essentially cut the hair, this led to an insane amount of neck burn, despite only 1 or 2 nicks. Can anyone provide any advice? Thanks in advance, Rithik

[@kevyshaves4109]

Maybe try a different blade?

[@iliaioukhvets87]

What if you run the stick on the face and then use the brush to face lather the wool fat?

Master what? Lol. I do this quite often with cheap soaps that don’t work very well, but have one good quality. So I’ll mix a slick but poorly lathering soap with a something the opposite.

If this is a joke I'll look stupid but Mitchell's contain lanolin and tabac tallow. Both ingredients are not cool with microwave.

It's not a joke, Ozzy. I tried it with a mix of Arko & another (no-name) lanolin soap. Just a few seconds in the microwave to soften it up worked ok. Actually letting it get hot though, is definitely a no-no. Ciao.

Hey Kevy como te va ?) Interesting the method you used, handmade !!! I would have chosen a more contemporary method, just introduce each soap to the microwave, then just mix both you will get a fairer result, when heating the material you get a more homogeneous soap, it is only my personal opinion, even so, let's wait for the result in the next video using Kevy's Labs shaving soap made in scotland .

[@JeroenvKL]

Some soap makers say never to use a microwave since that changes the soap chemistry. Also, would the essential oils and scent stuff evaporate from the soap?
