Dual Lye Shaving Soap

[@hollysoapmaking]

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 :)

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🙂

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

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

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you so much! 💕

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.

I’m going to make your recipe today can’t wait to try it out. That later looks amazing!

[@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 😅

[@thavylor]

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

[@davidahandcraftsoap]

Thank you for sharing your talents

[@seanstapelfeld]

Wonderful video! As a straight razor shaver I can tell this soap would be great for the task

[@ssc4153]

Thank you so much Holly for sharing your recipe!

[@teresafriedman6252]

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

[@hollysoapmaking]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@AnneQuiet]

It's so incredibly rich❤

[@marydoherty9188]

thank you for sharing this video. can i ask what the curing time is for this shave soap? many thanks xxx

[@cainsholisticapothecary4083]

Thank you❤

[@JesusRodriguez-c7u]

Holly, would you be so kind and explain to me how should I add vitamin mixture to the cooked soap if it says that it's water-soluable on the bottle? What temperature of cooked soap should be when adding? Thanks in advance!

[@habibhabibe2807]

So beautiful

[@agilly]

Can I add bentonite clay to this recipe?

[@AMusingFarms]

Hi Holly. Thank you for the video. Silly question here. Since you used the dual lye solution and it looks like it used a hot process method, not sure if the bars need to be cured or not or if they are ready to go. Thank you for the book recommendation. I have it in my cart.

[@cainsholisticapothecary4083]

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

[@bitababyszes]

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

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

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

[@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?

[@i.r7831]

What is the meaning of 5 parts of Lavender??

[@OregonWildmanAKAsasquatch]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@maragrace820]

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

[@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. 😊

[@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!

[@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!

[@rosalievanvooren3721]

Bonjour madame, excusez-moi mais c'est un savon bar que vous nous avez montrer et nous de la mousse à raser. Comment faites vous pour qu'il soit sous forme de mousse ? Bien à vous. Rosalie

[@corrylloyd6593]

Lovely! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

[@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

[@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)

[@AlpMaghaminia]

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?

[@AlpMaghaminia]

My God, I had not seen the first part of the video, you explained it perfectly. Thank you ❤️

[@MahmoudHassan-iv5ox]

Super woman you are ? God bless you 🤍🤍🤍

[@habibhabibe2807]

I flow you "saopee" ,

[@illicitivy]

Please just list the weight of the ingredients....not the percentage. This video is vwry hard to follow.
