Make a men's shave soap RECIPE INCLUDED | FuturePrimitive Soap Co.

[@revolutionarysoul9623]

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I was casting around for something new to make on a snowy day. I used a PVC pipe (lined with freezer paper) as a mold to make my version of the Shave Soap and it turned out wonderfully and smells grand. Using your ingredient list as a jumping off point, here's what my recipe included: Coconut oil, Palm oil, Castor oil, Avocado oil, Olive oil, Cocoa butter, Avocado butter, Bentonite clay, Vitamin E oil, Aloe, Basil EO, Sweet Fennel EO, Lemon EO, Sandalwood EO, Vanilla EO. It cut very nicely and has a nice color from the clay. Thanks again for all the inspiration you provide.

[@soapsforlove4168]

How nice that you made that recipe for a friend. They were so nice and creamy. I've only made a hot process men's soap, I'll have to try this one, thank you so much for sharing the recipe you used.

[@futureprimitivesoap]

I made it for a customer in my shop, so he's not exactly a friend, but he's becoming one! Ha! He's around 70 yrs of age. Lovely man. Good luck with the recipe x

[@alicepr1970]

Want to try a shaving soap but didnt want to experiment with dual lye... so sweet of you to share.

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Yes me neither. I have no need for potassium hydroxide for any other products so i never have it on hand. I'd like to try it but I'm trying to not buy ingredients i don't need. Trying to be good! Ha!

[@crystaldawn8875]

How very kind of you to share I will definitely give this one a Go! I love making blends with Vetiver..maybe I will do Oud Vetiver n Sandalwood!😉😎

[@terry_679]

You're welcome x

[@kymberlyashman1795]

Hello! I really enjoy your videos and as a newbie always looking for inspiration. I don't want to use palm oil and wondered what you would use instead? Thank you also for sharing your knowledge and recipe's, I think I've probably watched them all now!

[@lornashandmadesoaps7034]

Loved how cute they turned out. Thanks

[@danniobrien7787]

Thank you for your videos. Im not normally a commenter but ive binged your chanel over the last month and youve inspired me to start making soaps myself! Thanks again 😁😁 Danni

[@shaynehauskins4663]

[@djamilasadi413]

Think you so much for the recipe i will try to make for my family

[@deborahhemsworth414]

Hi Tiggy, can you please tell me how long the cure time is if the soap was put into a jar (same as the one you used) instead of molds. Thanks x

[@dawnbrookes8187]

Thank you for sharing this recipe I enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much

[@lyndalhildebrand7261]

Oh my I bet it smells devine 😍 What an awesome idea putting it in the tin he supplied 💙 LOVED how they turned out-amazing work hun :) I’m hoping to get a nice lavender oil to make some lavender CP soap-not much of a choice here in Australia unfortunately 😩

[@gingerstudt9930]

Great video....you are so splendid to watch. I've seen so many that will NOT share their recipe and yours looks wonderful. I do have a question, some say to use Stearic Acid? Is it ok to not use this?

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Hi, you wouldn't need to use stearic acid in a bar soap.

[@bayside833]

Would this soap give a foamy lather if I used a shaving brush and rubbed it in a bowl?

[@kellyw.1779]

Hello Tiggy! They looks so creamy and natural...very nice! Hugs from Texas!! xx : )

[@nounamassa5586]

Thanks for sharing very cool

[@beachsoapandcandle]

Thank you for sharing!

[@futureprimitivesoap]

You're welcome x

[@thecrazysoaplady2497]

Very kind of you to share your recipe! Can I ask what % your water discount was? Always amazes me how quickly you unmold!!

[@futureprimitivesoap]

50%

[@deborahhemsworth414]

Hi Tiggy, could I use Bentonite clay instead of the Kaolin? Thanks x

[@kiyikiyi1839]

Lovely video! I like how you make your videos 😊 and of course beautiful soap 💗

[@willemh3319]

nice no fighting with KOH👍👍greetings from 🇱🇺niceclear vid

[@comebackarabella]

Thank you for sharing. My I ask what your superfat is for this and what your water discount is? Thank you so much!😊

[@rrutaba]

Hi im new to your channel. is this safe to pour soap directly into a tin coz of Lye? Mango butter is quite expensive in my country, can i use shea butter instead of mango?

[@cruz70full]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Greetings from México!!

[@futureprimitivesoap]

You're welcome x

[@kerriekelly3028]

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Did you do equal lye to water or water as % of oils. Thanks so much

[@indrigueorguiev3013]

Could i ask how much lather the shaving soap would look? Hubby asks for me to make him some with quite leathery and white foam

[@shanesieweke8702]

Hello! I am trying to make this soap. I typed in the recipe into the calculator you linked. Here is your recipe (copied from above) with pounds attached to each major oil used. If that is correct, how much Kaolin clay and essential oils do I need to add? The major oils total 1 pound. So does that mean I put 0.304 oz of essential oils and 0.24 oz of Kaolin clay? I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly before I mess it up. Thanks! In percentages: 30% Coconut oil (76 deg) 0.3 lbs 30% Palm oil 0.3 lbs 10% Castor oil 0.3 lbs 10% Sunflower oil 0.3 lbs 10% Olive oil 0.3 lbs 5% Cocoa butter 0.3 lbs 5% Mango butter 0.3 lbs Additives: 1.5% Kaolin clay 1.9% essential oil blend I used: 0.57% Rosemary 0.57% Orange 0.57% Lavender 0.19% Vetiver =1.9% of oil weight.

[@shanesieweke8702]

Also, you said you discounted the water. Can you explain what that means? Just want clarity.

[@gabrod.7888]

how if I want to add glicerine?

[@kevenaeakin1365]

Hi thank you for putting the recipe up on that one and did you actually mean 24 weeks to cure

[@futureprimitivesoap]

No. 2 to 4 weeks to cure depending on your water amount.

[@deborahhemsworth414]

Hi, could you use bentonite clay in place of Kaolin? If so, would the percentage be the same?

[@camsanders5756]

Great video, as always. 🙂 I quite covet your big clear batter bowl every time I see it. Do you remember where you got it, or the brand name? The size and handle are wonderful!

[@melinda48]

How much lye water did you Use? I am new to soapmaking and need clarification on the amount of water/lye to use I this recipe. Can’t wait to try it!

[@melissamiller3466]

Could I use this recipe in Hot Process?

[@amjadali-tv3si]

Hi I am from Pakistan. Few days back my friend prepare a shaving soap with lot peppermint oil which lot cooling effect on skin. Just let me know whether peppermint oil good for skin or has some side effect too?

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Hi, I am very sensitive when it comes to peppermint oil. I use it very sparingly, if at all. For a shaving soap I would recommend lavender over peppermint.

[@amjadali-tv3si]

Thanks. What you recommend. I have an oily skin and like menthol base shaving cream. Please let me what sort of shaving soap is best for me.

[@formychildren1]

How much Lye

[@notanoutsi6734]

Hi Tiggy, thank you for sharing, it will be ineresting to try with no dual lye and stearing acid! ( can l sub mango with tallow?) is this a recipe you have tried before? does it hold the lather well, and is kaolin clay better than bentonite as far as the razor (how it slips on the cheek) is concerned?

[@futureprimitivesoap]

You're welcome. You can change up the recipe to suit your needs. Bentonite is brilliant. I only had Kaolin on hand so i used that. If you have bentonite use it x

[@GigglyBukkakeClub]

Hi Future Primitive! I used your recipe but my soaps does not solidify. :( The only difference in my recipe was that I only used olive oil instead of sunflower and that my red palm oil was semi liquid in room temperature, was your palm oil solid similar to the Cocoa and Mango butter? I really want to try again but feel a bit lost. All the best!

[@magnoliamike]

Where do u sell them? I’ve been Traditional WetShaving for about a year now and it would be great to buy from a real artisan

[@pattimessenger6214]

I think this is her website. futureprimitivesoap.co.uk

[@Carolesouthport]

Were do you get your palm oil from?Hope you don’t mind me asking? X

[@futureprimitivesoap]

I buy green palm supplied by Morrisons Food Services in Scotland.

[@shanalifernando4193]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I noticed you poured the soap right into the tin. Is there no reaction during surponification?

[@futureprimitivesoap]

No, the tin is stainless steel.

[@pattiduken]

Is this a dual lye recipe Tiggy? Looks good.

[@futureprimitivesoap]

No. Just NaOH x

[@pattiduken]

Cool, thanks.

[@magic8447]

Very nice! I’ve been wanting to make men’s soap. What would be a substitute for the Palm oil? Thanks for sharing 😀

[@futureprimitivesoap]

You could up the olive oil and add in some kokum butter for added density x

[@magic8447]

Okay, I’ll have to give that a try! Thank you Miss Tiggy 😀

[@futureprimitivesoap]

You're welcome x

[@romanovj1]

Thank you for your video, I have a few questions about your Shave soap. Are you incorporating both potassium and sodium hydroxide in your lye/water. Also I noticed you added no extra stearic acid to your shave soap, do you find your recipe creates a rich slick cushiony lather. Is your soap designed for a brush to be used or is it a latherless soap.

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Just sodium hydroxide, no stearic, and yes it has a nice thick lather and can be used with a brush.

[@TheSimplesanctuary]

What a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing Tiggy. My question is: what temperature do you soap at when adding essential oils to avoid flash. .? I always soap too hot i think and my essential oils flash off very quick leaving the soap almost unscented . Ahhhhh problems of a soap maker 🙄 xx Katherine

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Just below room temp x

[@smpackage25]

I don't have mango but I do have cocoa butter. Can I use that instead?

[@kindredinspirit]

Great recipe, only wish it was in ounces and not just percentages. Also what the full ounces of oils and butters for the base were. The amount of lye and water, and ounces for the dry ingredients.

[@futureprimitivesoap]

The amount of oils is calculated for my particular mould. By giving the percentages you are able to then calculate the weights you require for your particular mould. We all use different sized moulds so your recipe will call for a different weight of oils. By using the percentages that is me giving you the actual recipe!

[@charlesward8632]

@@futureprimitivesoap You are very generous to give us your recipe. And I also wanted to thank you for giving it to us in percentages. People don't realize that it's more convenient that way, as we can make a smaller or bigger batch as needed.

[@atanughoshal7701]

HOW TO GET THEM IN INDIA?

[@josephblurton3793]

How the hell do you expect me to measure out percentages

[@josephblurton3793]

FuturePrimitive Soap Company this is not basic mathematics. I did not learn this in school

[@futureprimitivesoap]

Whatever weight you want to make, make it with the percentages I've given you. Tap them into soap calc. It's very very simple stuff.

[@craftymissy4671]

It is very simple math. If you want a total batch weight of 100 ozs, you would do 30% of that weight for your coconut oil, 30 ozs. 10% of 100 ozs is 10 ozs and so on.
