Me encantó la espuma que usaste en el molde, es mucho más práctico que el papel. Gracias por compartirlo ellen.

Gotcha...Thank you so much! Im only making a 1000g batch and normally I can figure this out but I was stumped on this for some reason. 🤪 I appreciate your quick response. Have a Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too❣️

[@Pickles6115]

I made Amy's shaving soap recipe, but I sub the coconut oil for tallow. I have friends who have a farm and the gave me some beef tallow. It's a great recipe.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I love tallow soaps❣️

[@BaumgartBathCo]

Good morning, friend 🥰 My goal is to work with dual lye at some point. Thank you for sharing another great formula.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It makes such great soap, you should give it a go💗

[@lindabuchanan4576]

All I can say is Ellen we are the best

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 💗

[@PamelaAthieno]

Amazing

[@Tser]

I call the stuff you used for a liner "fun foam" (which is a brand I think, like tissues are kleenex) or "craft foam sheets". It's so useful for so many things around the house, too, haha.

[@Julie-we3ll]

Awesome Ellen. Have you ever made a foam shaving cream ? If you have please share. Love from GA ❤❤❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I haven't made a foam one yet..

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

Ooh, this sounds so luxurious! I'll have to save this recipe to try later. It has some new ingredients that I have never tried before. Side question, if I wanted to add tussah silk to lotion, how would I melt the fibers? Because I know that the silk melts with lye, but you don't usually add lye to lotion.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

For lotion I would recommend a liquid silk.

[@lyndawest8612]

Enjoyed spending time with you again today. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. I'm out of shaving soap, so I'll give this one a try. I may switch up the fragrance for a woman's soap. As I'm relistening, I'm wondering about your comments about setting the puck on its side while drying. Does the soap in the cup dry as well or does it have a shorter life?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a really good question, I find the "free standing" soaps last longer with better air circulation but the mug soaps seem to last even longer... I just tip the cup and make sure any standing water is drained, then let it sit.

[@Tser]

No one in my household shaves, but this soap makes me wish I did! Hahaha.

[@darrenbenham1890]

I love the pvc mold. Do you have a video on that or… what size (3” 4”?) and what do you use for a cap? It doesn’t look like anything I recognize.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I used a 3" PVC for this, and just sat it in a cup with a tiny bit of MP to make a seal around the bottom.

[@hilaryquinn8673]

Would it be possible to use the heat transfer method for this? Love your video! Thank you! I would love to try this.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

The stearic acid has such a high melting point, it might be hard to get a complete melt on it..

[@hilaryquinn8673]

@@EllenRuthSoap Ah…that makes sense! Thank you.

It will be available this upcoming week 👍

I'm baaack :) ... I'm looking at purchasing a good speed soap wire cutter. What is the wire width for your model? Thank you, again :)

Mine are set at 1.25"

[@carladasilva5548]

Hi Ellen, how r u? I follow u here and love your videos . I made the shaving soap. I did half of the recipe that u posted here last weekend. I am letting it cure for the 4 weeks. My soaps r a little sticky. As it dries, does it goes harder? Just want to make sure I did the right way . Thanks a lot 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

They should harden up well, during the cure.

[@carladasilva5548]

@EllenRuthSoap ok, thank u .

[@sherylpink1]

Hi. I'm new in soap making. I love your videos. I just have one question. What is natural preservative you are using in your soap. I want to learn to make soap and for my family and friends but I am trying not to use harsh chemicals aside from lye water. Thank you in advance.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't use a preservative in soap making.

[@OregonWildmanAKAsasquatch]

Can a person use clay as a slicking agent instead of glycerin? Should one be used over the other? Or can both be used?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I do use clay in my CP shave soap and love it. But I've gotten feedback from some "wet shavers" that clay can dull the razors edge.

[@horsechic2368]

Any clue if it’s possible with goat’s milk? Or would it scald too easily through the “hot” processing?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't know, I've not tried it..

[@julierowdon3631]

Hey Ellen The recipe you shared says it's a 28% lye solution soap but the recipe says 2.6 x the lye. Should that be 2.8? I just wanted to make sure I was calculating that correct. And...do you weigh the oils and butters after the cook then add the glycerin at 10 %? I don't want to mess it up.😁 Thank you so much ! I absolutely love watching you ♥️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I measure before the cook 👍 and the 28% is the liquid volume total, the lye measurement is correct 😉

[@mdtusarahmed.]

❤❤❤❤

[@aliciahunt274]

How long does the shave cup last? How many shaves approximately?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Several months at least😉

[@tashaandjacob6836]

Is the 29% added to calculator as percentage of oils to water, or lye concentration?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Water to oils %

[@aliciahunt274]

Where do you get the stainless steel mugs at in bulk?

[@bellabates4512]

How many is several weeks in your part of the states?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

More than 2🤣

[@HillbillyAcresSoapery]

Do you not add benonite clay to your shaving bars anymore?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Not to this recipe, I have a CP recipe that I do add it to.

[@silvanaximenasandovalzunig1054]

Es exquisita la espuma, casi como Gillette 😊

[@karenbrown4846]

Can we discount some water with goats milk

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍

[@i.r7831]

What is the funtion of the double lye?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It creates a bit softer soap with a very dense lather.

[@oncekilos9637]

hi, i'm trying this recipe using goat milk instead of water, but it hardens so fast i don't even have time to put into the molds, what could be causing this? the milk? did 2 batches, first at 140ºF and second at 120ºF, if it were colder my oils started to harden again

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Hmmm, I'm not sure what's going on? HP isn't my main "wheel house" of knowledge.

[@oncekilos9637]

@@EllenRuthSoap well, I made a batch with distilled water, just as you, it went perfect I discovered the milk burns when I put the lye and then it speeds up the hardening process, so I made a batch with almost frozen milk and it went pretty good at 140°f without burning, the lye even dissolved just like in water but I think I burned the milk again when mixed with my oils that were at about 180°f and made a little volcano on my pot the secret is not burn the milk

If they dry out between uses, they last a long time.
