I have a similar recipe but no lard instead I use beef tallow and no stearic acid and in place I use soy wax . My hunny wants one with beer next time. But I love that you gave two options instead of just one for palm-free, vegan soapers.
AWESOME Video! Thank you! No offense to the women soap makers, but THIS is a dude's arena, and you've explained why one would use a specific ingredient which is incredibly helpful! Thank you!
@@shirleyedwards1490 because it’s a hot process recipe the finished soap is essentially usable out of the pot but I always cure for about 4 weeks as I think this helps with the final lather and longevity of the product
For shave soaps you need to have a little more understanding of the fatty acid profiles. You need to use steric acid - steric fatty acid is the stable thick lather creator. Avoid too much oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid profiles as these will kill the lather. Palmetic helps stabliase and gives a creamy lather and lauric and myristic acid cause more volume or fluffy lather. So tweak your recipe to include more steric and palmetic fatty acid profiles an use no more than 5% Castor (Ricinoleic acid) this adds moisture and support a stable later but too much will weight it down. Hope that helps
I have just discovered your TH-cam channel and am loving ALL the videos I have watched thus far.. However I have to say this is definitely my favorite! I have yet to make a batch of shave soap that I am happy both, both in process and results, and had given up for awhile, quite awhile. But your teaching is wonderful and definitely makes me want to try again, so much so that I have ordered the ingredients that I need but do not have on hand. Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much for the recipe, and thorough tutorial! I made a batch today, sized up slightly with soapcalc. I did have a issue with the batter being much thicker than yours in the video. Are there any tricks to getting a more fluid batter so that it will go into the mold as beautifully as yours did? Would there be an issue with increasing the water to lye ratio?
Silk helps to make a bar feel luxury on the skin - but the area of the face is being scrubbed with a brush in effect - and I always ask whether an ingredient adds significant properties to a bar. With my recipe bentonite tends to affect the lather so I don’t use it

Nice recording! You’re a natural!

Wowww I love your video i was spending a lot of money buying shave soap now i will try this one hoping it works😅
Great vid
Very nice! Thanks for sharing 🙂
My pleasure.
I love this video ☺ great work x
Thank you. Glad you like.
I think this is the recipe that I've been 'looking for'! How long do you leave the soap to cure for before it can be used?

@@QueerBullSoap Thanks so much for your quick response. I can't wait to try this recipe
Could you please state what percentage of glycerin you used? And thank you for sharing your recipe!
Video shows 499 grams
Once it reaches vaseline stage in the pot it's saponified.
What should i do to get less bubble..
Do you mean less bubble and more lather?
@@QueerBullSoap yes sir. Less bubbles and more lather..

@@QueerBullSoap thank you for sharing your knowledge...appreciate your help
Is that a rice cooker?
No it’s a slow cooker or otherwise known as a crock pot
@@QueerBullSoap Thank you so much for sharing all of these. İts a great service. So what is the volume of this pot? How many liters does it contain?
Great video for showing how shave soap process differs from CP bar soap

How much glycerin did you add?
@@bellabates4512 5% totally batch weight.
HI! Nice recipe, why you don't add bentonite and tussah silk to recipe, to get better blade slippage?
