Elly dear, what do the different numbers mean on GW soy wax? I can find 416 but not 415. Appreciate your explanation. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@bellabates4512]

I am just now noticing that you change the wax I’m gonna go through with the original one you suggested. However I’m wondering why you changed?

Hi Ella, I became passionate about soapmaking about 8 months ago and I’ve been watching your videos ever since… I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes. Your videos are so inspiring. Your calm and friendly nature is also therapeutic for those of us just getting started. Thank you so much! Your are such a blessing 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you Kristina, you're very kind! I'm glad the videos are enjoyable and relaxing for you :)

[@ericwilcox2442]

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.

[@motorolarazrd7017]

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. 😊

[@elenispiliopoulou4030]

I did your recipe and got excellent comments. Thank you!

I actually have stearic that is derived from beef. I am doing too okay around and see what I can come up with as I don't like soy. Takes all kinds 😊 Thank you for the inspiration!

[@ashley-cz1sl]

A good tip that I learned from a soap maker us use ice. It helps cool the lye and helps with the fumes too

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes, but with a recipe like this you don't want your lye solution too cool! I normally use ice :)

Hi Elly, I have just made your shaving soap and it was so easy thank you very much. It was a first for me using soy wax and bentonite clay. I was going to use the stick blender as it was taking a few minutes to come to trace but just as well I didn't, wow just got there in time. I think it was because I used ice for my water.

[@lorettairvine7633]

Thank you, Elly, for your organized thoughtful teaching. It is lovely to hear an Aussie too. I have been wanting to make soap for at least 40 years and your video gave me the confidence. 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?

[@snehaldsa597]

Hi Elly! Seen your video after soo long… I wanted to make shaving soap and got the perfect recipe…. Firstly I thought how to make soap with soy wax? Secondly when it done I was rubbing it on my hand and it’s not lathering at all 🤭 I thought all my hard work gone waste.. But! After that I use my husband’s shaving brush and after rubbing it sometimes it’s started lathering… and after that I was like …. ‘YES! Elly I did it’ 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for the recipe 😘😘😘 Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

[@barbfehlau1010]

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...

Hi Elly, so nice to see another of your video ! I was wondering if i could mould this shaving soap directly into a "shaving bowl" or the bowl that is going to be use for shaving soap🤔 i know it would require more than one bowl but.. just an idea

Ditto this, but because I've saved up several bowls.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes, definitely!! Why didn't I think of that?!!?? Great idea, love it.

[@K3Flyguy]

I razor blade shave every day or rarely every other day. Yes a good lather is important but, even more important is the glide, and the most important is that the soap will not dry your skin even a little! Are there any men reading this that have used this soap that could assure me this is a great shaving soap?thank you for sharing a very nice video! I subscribed and liked.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Michael. Great point you make. Personally, for shaving my legs I love a simple castile soap (the most gentle), but this soap is very gentle too and all the men I know who use it (at least 4 individuals over a number of years) say it's great to use and glides well.

Hi Elly, could you please share the details for your scales (big and small). I have some scales but after using them for a year I feel they aren't the best and I always struggle measuring my EO. This recipe looks so good too! I've made shaving soap before but not with soy wax, so excited to try this one. Thanks, Sam.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Sam! My big scale is a Salter brand, which is quite accurate and I love it for bread making as well www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/1073789410/salter-leaf-electronic-kitchen-scale-5kg-black My little scale is just a cheap 'gram scale' from ebay. You just want one that can measure as low as a tenth of a gram (or less). I find the small scale great for weighing tiny amounts of things accurately.

[@hananeme1674]

Hi u are just amazing in everything u do I made cold process olive oil soap 3 weeks ago but after I notice like white dust or powder covering the soap What do you think this things coming from where thanks 🙏

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you, you're very kind! That sounds like soda ash to me - this page explains www.ellyseveryday.com/soap-making-terms

[@bundubeard]

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.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

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!
