🟥 DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. The content I create is meant for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can permanently damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear during the entire soapmaking process, even while cleaning up. I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining. However, due to the many variables that can affect a particular batch of soap, if you do try any of my methods or techniques that I use in my videos, I cannot be held liable or responsible for your results.

Seems like forever since I've posted a video! Hope you're all doing well! :) I just wanted to mention a quick note about the water amount. I used a 33% lye solution (multiplying the lye amount by 2), but you may want to use more water so the mixture is easier to blend (multiply the lye amount by 2.2 instead). Thanks so much for watching! - Holly :)

[@boop7313]

Great to see you back Holly. Thanks for the great looking shave soap recipe, I'll be trying it and be sure to up the water a little bit too🙂

[@mkstudio888]

Cure time??

[@cliviascreations]

Thank you Holly. I made two batches last week using bison tallow in one and leaving the second one vegan. I always use the dual lye calculator for my shaving soap recipes. Love your black bowls. So elegant! And like always enjoyed your therapeutic video. Thank you

[@firdowskruger9896]

Beautiful foam, Holly. Always love your videos. Love and hugs from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@ssc4153]

Thank you so much Holly for sharing your recipe!

[@davidahandcraftsoap]

Thank you for sharing your talents

[@thavylor]

Look at that lather foam!! Thank you for sharing.

[@sherrymartindale8582]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve been wanting to try a shaving soap so this is perfect! Ordered my potassium hydroxide 🥰

[@janicecohoon9674]

Love this video and the way you make everything so calm!! If I did this it would be a hot mess, but I'm still going to do it in the near future 😅

[@teresafriedman6252]

SO nice to have you back!! love your videos.

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@AnneQuiet]

It's so incredibly rich❤

[@habibhabibe2807]

So beautiful

[@cainsholisticapothecary4083]

Thank you❤

[@felicascriven3672]

After years of soapmaking and months of watching shaving soap videos, I got smart and ordered Carrie's book. It came together beautifully. Thanks for the suggestion and for sharing your knowledge Holly.

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

This was a great video, like always. I've seen others make dual lye soap for shaving, but what is the purpose of the dual lye?

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

This was so helpful! I hope to make some shaving soap someday. Thanks for sharing! Hugz, Tree

[@bitababyszes]

Hi - great video! Would increasing the water amount help to make the soap more fluid for pouring into a tube mold?

[@Shohelo_]

Hello. Can I use dried goat milk or dried coconut milk for soap by mixing it with oils? Also, should I use a preservative with them?

[@cainsholisticapothecary4083]

Do you have a link for the stick blender you use or how I can get one? I love your videos ❤

[@sunshine8389]

Does this shaving soap have a calculated lye deficit or is the glycerin sufficient as a nourishing component in this soap. In my recipe I calculated an 8% lye deficit for this soap. How long does this soap have to mature before it can be used? Thank you dear Holly

[@corrylloyd6593]

Lovely! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

[@maragrace820]

Wait, how does it go from soap to whip cream style fluff?

[@rajameenanagappan1180]

Hi Holly, thanks for sharing this, can we replace sweet almond oil with avacado oil? Or do I have to check it in soapcalc?

[@hollysoapmaking]

You definitely need to run it through a soap calculator if you make any changes at all. And I’d recommend even running my numbers to rough a soap calculator just to make sure. 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@ashmodo1097]

I get much better working time when I hot processes these in a crock pot and all of my customers have mentioned they are loving my new recipes that don’t container any castor or babassu oil. It’s all solids and the foam seems to be much richer and has a lasting density for really course hair. I have been adding some sustainably sourced slippery elm bark after the cook as well. Helps the glide of the razor.

[@hollysoapmaking]

Sounds great! 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@Hfwsoapmaking]

Why does cold process cause sweating in rain? How to prevent it? Even after 2 months of making soap, it is still sweating. please guide me.

[@OregonWildmanAKAsasquatch]

So what are the measurements for each ingredient? In ounces and or grams?

[@i.r7831]

What is the meaning of 5 parts of Lavender??

[@taxiridefun]

Do not see any link for stearick acid in any of your store or other links?

[@hollysoapmaking]

Oh thanks! I totally forgot to add where I purchased it. I bought mine at Wholesale Supplies Plus. 😊

[@user-uu4uw9op3r]

Hello. Sorry, I can't speak English very well, I live in Iran😔 I didn't understand the amount of raw materials for the recipe, I'm in the early stages of learning soap making. How much water did you use to dissolve potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide? Is it possible to share a more detailed recipe with me?

[@DIVAnailstudio]

Открою вам секрет, смешивайте твердые масла и разбавленную щелочь, масла в щелочи сами растают , и не надо их разогревать отдельно . Это будет намного проще)

[@BaumgartBathCo]

Hi Holly! Happy to see an upload from you 😊 Would you mind sharing the glycerine amount? I didn’t see it in the description box.

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you! I like to add 10%, so for this 1000g recipe, I used 100g. It’s in the video somewhere…around the fragrance prep I think. 😊

[@BaumgartBathCo]

@@hollysoapmaking Oooops! I must have missed it. Thank you so much for your reply.

[@hollysoapmaking]

No worries! It goes by fast so it’s easy to miss! 😊

[@jankates1274]

That lather looks amazing

[@habibhabibe2807]

I flow you "saopee" ,

Super woman you are ? God bless you 🤍🤍🤍
