- Making a dual-lye shaving soap for my Dad has been on my to-do list for a while now. It was fun to try something new, and I'm really pleased with how the soap turned out. Lather test at the end. I hope you find this video helpful! Thank you for watching, liking, & subscribing! -Holly

** SAFETY INFORMATION **
Keep all pets and children away from the area when making soap. Always wear safety glasses and keep your skin protected at all times.
This is an advanced soap making technique. Before attempting a dual-lye soap, it is highly advisable to start with basic cold process soap and gain a thorough understanding of the process and how to deal with lye.
When adding the dual-lye solution to the oils, the mixture can volcano up and out of the pot.
- Be sure to use a pot with plenty of room
- Keep your lye and oil temperatures very close together
- Add the lye to the oils very slowly (stirring well after each addition and waiting on a reaction)

Hi! I've had several question about cure time, so I thought I'd pin a comment here. With normal cold process soap (assuming it was made correctly), saponification is usually complete within 24 to 48 hours. After saponification, the time it takes for the soap to cure will depend on the oils used and water amounts - cure time means the time it takes for the water to evaporate and the bar to harden. With this modified cold process technique and starting with high temperatures, saponification was complete as soon as the soap cooled (the next day). However, I used a lot of water (in hopes it would help with fluidity), so when I unmolded the bars, they were still a bit sticky. I let them sit a week before the lather test just to dry out a bit. Out of curiosity, I actually did test the pH the day I unmolded them - my strip showed a good pH of between 8 and 9. It doesn't hurt anything to let the bars dry out longer, though. The lather may even improve as more water evaporates. Hope this helps! 😊❤️
When did you add super fat ?? And what did you use oil / butter for superfat ?? Pls guide
I don't think the lather will change by curing the bars. But it helps with storage.
Nice video
Hi Holly how many oz of water ? Im sorry
@@troubauk do u know how many oz of water? Thank you
Fantastic job Holly! I've been so cautious to try this, but now you've inspired me to give it a shot... And that lather! Wow, creamy!
Thank you, Ellen! I was surprised by the lather. It really feels like a shaving cream. :) Good luck with yours!
Thank you so much Holly. Excellent tutorial and the recipe you provided worked out great. Debbie from W. Australia
Holly, thank you for posting this. I've recently gotten into cold process soap making, and I've been wanting to learn more about shave soaps. I have sensitive skin, and I live in an extremely remote place where it is difficult to get typically aerosolized or pressurized canisters shipped to me. Being able to make my own soap could help with both of those problems, especially now that I have all of my soap making equipment in hand. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for this! They turned our great and the family loves them 😊
I finally got around to making a shaving soap for my Dad. Parts of the video are probably long and tedious, but I wanted to show the entire process so you'll know more of how the soap might look as you go. Have you made a dual-lye shaving soap? I'd love to know if you've tried the modified cold process or the hot process and how it went. :) -Holly
The fact that you showed all the parts even the tedious parts was very helpful. As somebody who has not made soap before there are things I want to see somebody else go through so I know what to go through, even if I only need to see it once. Thanks for the great video!
Hope you answer my question on stearic acid .. you said that you added to oils but you didn't show how its added to oils or melted .. (Can you make a video on stearic acid? ) .. plus does affect the measurement of NaOH and KOH ? I understand that stearic acid does reduce the impact of NaOH and KOH so you have to add more of that to compensate .. right?
Just made some of your recipe yesterday. Progressed exactly as shown in your video. However, I used a metal cylinder mold and helped to ensure complete saponification by placing it in a 180 F preheated oven (with the upper rack removed). Kept it in there for 2-1/2 hours. Unmolded late last night. This morning I cut into about 7/8" thick pucks. Had one small 1/4" sliver left over and tried it out shaving this morning... BAM! Spot on recipe! Great job Holly! I put the recipe into my recipe files stored at the Soapmaking Friend website which has IMHO the easiest to use soap calculator out there. I may do some tweaks like adding some Kaolin clay. Again... thanks for a great method. BTW, I've been making soap since 2002. Became really good at making liquid gels for showers and hand washing.
Ohhh, thanks for this. I accidentally ordered potassium hydroxide and didn't want to make liquid soap. This is great! I ordered the book and can't wait to try it out!
This is the best gift for a man. I did this for all my men one Christmas along with the brush and the razor. They loved it. Your dad will love it. The bubbles are so creamy and lovely.
It really is! What a wonderful idea to include the brush and razor, too! I’m so excited for my Dad to try it. ❤️
I have a question, how much water did you use, and how much (wt) of lye. I did not understand the part of ... water = 2.6 x (NaOH + KOH) (28% lu solution) and 6% super fat. very good video I hope you help me with my doubts!
hello holly. I want to ask you a question. I don't understand how many grams of water. 2.8oz
How many grams of Noah and KOH
Hope you answer my question on stearic acid .. you said that you added to oils but you didn't show how its added to oils or melted .. (Can you make a video on stearic acid? ) .. plus does affect the measurement of NaOH and KOH ? I understand that stearic acid does reduce the impact of NaOH and KOH so you have to add more of that to compensate .. right?
Thank you for sharing this, I’ve got a lot of bearded men in the family, so not sure if they shave, but I’m going to try my hand at this.
I am curious, is water added when ready to use to get that creamy look that yours has at the beginning of video?
Very nice
If I want to make 200g
So water will be
2.6 ×(80+120)
Beautiful✨ .. Does the scent remain the soap or fades within a few months. In Cp soaps scent fades
Great video, thanks. Just wished you had did a voice over instead of the type over but good nevertheless.
Greetings from Korea! thank you for this! :-)
wow wonderful, how much water did you use? Is the weight of the two types of hydroxide always 500g?
essential oils how many ml or drops?
thank you so much
Dumb question, but does this recipe not need sodium lactate?
Without saying a word you have answered so many of my questions about making saving soap. Thank you💞
Hi! I love your chanel and I learn a lot. My name is Debora and I'm from Brazil. Here potassium hydroxide is forbidden... I don't know why. So, can I use just the sodium hydroxide for this recipe?
(Sorry for my bad English)
Hi, does it not need to cure for 1 month? Is it ready to use after next morning
Thank holly i will try making for my husband
I've never tried to do this as a cold process before- it looks like it goes through all the stages of hot process on its own without outside help.
Can we add btms to this recipe???
Thanks for the great video! This my first shaving soap and I am really excited about it. I will be unmolding tomorrow. I did not add as much of the essential oils, as I was concerned that it would be too much for something that would be concentrated on face area. I notice that the Stearic acid did have a strong odor. I know it is the steStearic acid since this is a new item that I have not worked with. Do you know if this is common? I know I will be adding more fragrance for the next batch.
Thank you for watching! I did notice that the stearic acid definitely had a distinct odor. How did your shaving soap turn out? Good, I hope!
Did you use Coconut Oil 76?
Your videos are so well-organized, even down to the description box. Goals!!
Thank you for sharing this technique and booked.
Thank you! I don’t feel very organized but I’m glad it appears that way. Haha. 😊❤️
if anyone knows who to calculate water,please share it. I didn't understand the eqasion above
if you plug all the info she gives into a soap calculator (Soapee), it will tell you.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I make mine with hot process, I also add buttermilk and colloidal oatmeal. Watching your modified process, makes me keen to try it this way.
Thank you! The buttermilk and colloidal oatmeal sounds wonderful! I was thinking of trying the hot process method next time just to compare. 😊
What is the shelf life of this soap please?
what did you use as a superfat?
Hello, I just came across your video, I was blown away by this process, the foam is fantastic, thank you very much, You got a fan 😘
Just WOW!!!! The lather is simply beautiful! Now I am going to have to try that! Thank you Holly for your vids! You inspire so many!
Thank you and thanks for watching, Lori! That’s so kind of you to say! Good luck with making your shaving soap! :)
Ooooo that was awesome!!! Please keep it coming! Love from Fiji
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ENJOY WATCHING PLUS LEARNING FROM YOUR CHANNEL!!! Every project I’ve seen you do has been done with such grace and elegance. I started my soap and skincare business back in January and I’m happy to report that my customers enjoy my soaps and I can get them sold sooner with your 35% Lye concentration method. Thank you for being such an AWESOME TEACHER and sharing your work with the world!!💯🙏🏾💚
Thanks for sharing 💜
Exquisite, as all you do !
Greetings from Barcelona, Spain ⛱️
AMAZING!!!!
Thanks, grate video!
I just have one question, to calculate the lye solution, what metod did u use? "water as %of oils" or "lye concetration"?
Thank you! I always calculate my water amount using lye concentration.
In case you need more info on it, here's a great article from Modern Soapmaking on the subject: www.modernsoapmaking.com/lye-solution-in-soapmaking/
Thank you for sharing. They turned out nicely!
Very nice lather 🤗
Thank you for the detailed and informative video.
Thanks for a wonderful video, making the product so easy to make. Will the curing be appx 10 to 15 days
Thank you! I used a lot of water when I made these (hoping it would help with fluidity). They were pretty sticky feeling, so I let the bars sit for a week to dry out before testing the lather. After three weeks, the bars feel about the same. They won’t ever be super hard like a regular cold process bar due to the high percentage of KOH I used. You could let them dry longer if you like though. 😊
Woooow Holly 😍😍 that lather is aaaaawesome 💕 your dad will love it 💕💕 I made several HP shaving soaps, and i love making it that way.
I also joined the class "CP Shave Soap Masterclass Video eClass" from Amanda Aaron (Lovin Soap) but i never tried that myself before (still on my to do list lol) but that was a very helpfull class, where she teaches us how to formulate your own shaving soap, and she learned us 2 different ways how to make it. (all realtime and step by step and really easy to understand.) 😊😊
Thank you so much, Angélique! I was thinking of trying HP next time just to compare. I watched Amanda’s excerpt video on TH-cam and just that little bit was so helpful. I need to see if she has her CP Shave Masterclass available in her store. I’d love to watch both of her methods. 😊 Thanks for letting me know about it.
Holly - Kapia Mera Soap You more then welcome 😘😘 The first time I made the hot process shaving soap it looked very rustic and it wasn't easy for me to flatten the top nicely. (of course it was also the nerves that count, because it was also the very first time I made a HP Soap ever lol. You can watch the first ones I made, at my IG almost at the bottom) If I make them now, I pre-heat the cups, that helps me that the soap does not cool down too fast because of the cold cup I pour the soap in. Yes, Amanda still offers the class in her store 😊😊 I hope you will share the HP version as well with us 💕💕
So interesting! I had no idea thats how shaving soap was made :o great video, loved that you left in all the stirring so we could see it go through those stages!
I really appreciate
Buying individual ingredient amounts on Amazon involves a lot of mailing expense making it prohibitive. I have no idea where I can buy some of the ingredients in physical stores as they are not things I would normally buy. What kind of shops would carry the main ingredients?
Hi, my question is, This shave soap that you made, does it not need to wait 4-6 weeks for curing? or 1 week is enough to cure and ready to use? Does it safe, and nobody can burn their skin? Hope to hear back from you? Id like to try to make it? thanks in advance
i made a shaving soap, but the superfat goes around to 15%. 2 days in silicone mold and the bars has still liquid oil and they are soft. what can i do to save them, or can i let them 1 more day? thank you.
Holly, I know this video is 2 years old. I used your method and recipe and made these shaving bars yesterday. I put the soap in a pipe mould. Great recipe, quick and easy to follow and make. Today I unmoulded. Quite sticky, but able to cut into rounds. I wondered if I could mould them with my hand shampoo press. I re-cut the rounds, (to fit the mould) weighed them out and with lots of baking soda on all parts of the mould, was able to press them, without them sticking to the mould. They came out perfect. Now sitting on the drying rack - a wonderful sight! As always, a wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
I typically make cold process soap as well. My female customers are looking for a shave bar to use in the shower (but without a brush). Would this recipe work?
First time around the soap was tacky. Do I discount the glycerin as a "Liquid Discount" on the calculator?
I saved this video to try your recipe for Christmas gifts for people this year. I’ve never tried dual lye, only worked with both separately. I’m super excited and I can’t wait 😆 I’ve had a volcano happen to me with potassium hydroxide with liquid soap making so Lord willing I’ll go slow 🤣 thanks Holly! I hope you’re doing well and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Been looking for something like this! Thank you!
Hi.. wonderful video representation.. but I am
Unable to understand the Noah and koh % which is 40 and 60% ... how do I calculate it ... unable to understand the calculator too .. could you tel me what would be the lye amount for 500gms batch ?
Hello Ma'am your soaps are always amazing and very unique. Kindly suggest which formulation gave you a better shaving soap duel lye or just soap made with NAOH
Wow rich in creamy lather
Made your recipe last week and my husband is really happy with the result. Beautiful lather and it smells wonderful. Thank you, from Belgium Holly ❤
(2:50) - I would have used a hand whisk to stir.
Would mix up much more efficiently.

Does anyone know what's the role of stearic acid and glycerin in this recipe? Can they be omitted or substituted by something else? Thanks!
Hi Holly! Have you experienced any warping/shrinkage of the pucks after weeks of curing using a 28% lye solution?
Beautiful consistency. How long would a single disc last for a man shaving daily?
Thank you so much for this... I just want to ask you, can I add flavour maybe chamomile and how to do it ?
Creative works. How long is the incubation period for shaving soap
Hi, I'm wondering if your dad loved the shaving soap also do you still make it for him ?
Great video. Does anyone know the environmental impact of the ingredients and are they all naturally derived chemicals?
I just bought my husband a traditional shaving kit. This is a brilliant well timed video!
Best shave soap making video on TH-cam. Nice job!
But what do you do after you wet the whole bar. Does it dry out after a day between shaves? How long would one bar last you?
Well explained, how many grams of essential oils in total did you use?
Why dual-lye?
Teach me how to make shaving soap. I wanna learn so I can shave easily
Wow that heated up and cooked through really fast! Does that happen because of the potassium hydroxide or the stearic acid?
I just made one, following your instructions, for my father and in-laws too. Hope it will turn great for them 😊😊😊 Thank you for sharing this precious knowledge & skill 💕💕💕
👍👍👍👏👏
Thank you for sharing Holly. Ive made hot process shave soaps. Still Trying out recipes & tweaking. This book was very helpful as well as kevine divine's soap testing videos.
May Allah Pak bless on your father. How old he is?
Best video I've seen since I've been looking for shaving soap how to videos.
Don't we need curing period for this like 4 weeks like other cold processed soaps
Hi, where did you get your glass bowl? I like it
how if add koh after finishing bar soap. to make it liquid
Very nice, thanks for sharing
the most beautiful and descriptive video I have seen so far, this girl is the Picasso of shaving soaps thank you so much!
muito bom o sabao de barbear meus parabens.......................................
How cool! It looks just like shaving cream!
Nice! A little Lanolin can be good in the mix also.
hi I want to make soap please send me a all ingredients of soap .
THANK YOU !! I have been using " Shaving Soap " for 45 years now. I am now retired & with the free time on my hands, I thought 'Let's try making some shaving soap.
Your Honesty on where you gained ideas & insight is commendable !!
I will follow your suggestion to purchase Carrie Seibert's book. Thank You !!
Great Video !! Well Made !!! Hope to see more of your videos.
Thank you for watching! Carrie's book is wonderful. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
Wow, this very nice ans your dad will love this! I can use this on my legs 😊😁 lol, thank you Holly.
Could this be considered hot process soap?
Looks wonderful, thanks for the links.
Beautiful work !!!
Hi why you add steraric acid?
¿Sólo esperas una semana para probarlo?
شكرا لما تقدميه
so excited to try out, thank you Holly for sharing, much love all the way from the Himalayas x
Wonderful
How much time has to cure? 4 weeks like CP? What about the ph?
It really depends on how much water is used. Assuming the soap was made correctly, saponification is complete within 24 to 48 hours (give or take a day) with normal cold process soap. This modified cold process soap was fine to use the next day (after it cooled)...it’s kind of like a fast hot process, basically. I used a lot of water in this recipe, so I let it sit for a week before trying a lather test..just to let it dry out. Thanks for asking! :)
Wow! that was amazing
Thank you🌹🌹🌹
good morning,
I'm Alessandro, I don't speak English, can I ask you for the written recipe for this soap? I do the translation. with speech it is difficult. Thank you so much.
Yours sincerely
Alessandro from Italy
The recipe is listed below the video.
Lisa O on that amount of fat I have to discount the hydroxides of 6%?
Ale Def - No, just follow the recipe exactly as written. She’s just listing what the super fat percentage is. Have you made soap before bc it’s a pretty standard term?
Lisa O 68g of total hydroxides. quite right?
Ale Def - oh, I see she didn’t specifically list that. I don’t know, use the lye calculator she suggested and divide the amount 40/60 between the two different types.
