I know this video is super old, but I wish I had learned about this when I was a teenager and was making my own deodorant, perfume oil and hair oil. I would have chosen to open a small online shop and sell handmade soap bars instead of college. I'm drawing, painting, writing and photographing now, so the artist and handmaker in me hasn't left, LOL! Thanks for sharing this! You're making me want to make my own soap and indulge in my love of soap bars, especially handmade soap bars!

Yep, as a kid it was my job to stir the soap with a wooden spoon on the stove. It was poured into a big wooden box, put in the garage with a wool blanket over it. No such thing as a stick blender then. No fragrance, st it kinda smelled bad on the stove (animal lard) but smelled neutral when dried. We used to grate it for doing my dad’s filthy work clothes in the wringer washer.

This one came up as a recommendation tonight and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. haha I am SO excited to go buy these common items from Walmart and make my first batches of soap. I've been looking at my cream and half and half containers for months and thinking, I bet I could use these for soaps or candles... and BAM!, you show me how!!! I am over the moon with excitement. But shortening, olive oil, lard, turmeric, paprika, etc., etc., etc., etc.,.... WOWWWWWWWW!!!! My eyes were popping!!! You are an amazing, kind, funny, thorough, and knowledgeable soaper. Thank-you SO much for all you share. You truly simplified everything in this video.
