Nuts proberly as many of her time she can also make soaps but she never got a shaving soap perfected. Maybe just goats milk and coconut next time MWF smell is a bit yukyCanuck said:I've done the superlather thing, loaded up on a hard soap and then added a touch of cream to set things off, it's really good but I'm not sure if it was any better as say, your best day's ever lathering with just a cream. I suppose it pretty much guarantees a solid lather.
What your Mrs did sounds nuts! I wonder how it would go with different variables?
What does dragon blood smell like? Thats a new one to meTackleberry said:I grated a palmolive stick with some dragons blood soap I got from a stall on a farmers market and melted it all together to make a different soap. It lathers well and smells of dragons blood which i love. the problem is it's lasting forever so it's been put away for a while while i use supermax cream or cella.

I've grated Palmolive and stuffed it in but melting it down sounds a better option if I could pour it into the container. Is it just a case of a little bit of water and heat it? I'm sure I read somewhere that soap that wasn't made from glycerine ie mama bears type, would lose it's scent if heated.
On cooling does the soap just go back to it's original form or does it change in any way?
SWMBO said add water warm it up till it dissolves stir don't let it get to hot it burns stir untill like well mashed potato and shove in mould etc let cool down this can take days (shes the soap maker not me lol) Shes just pointed out google soap milling as it tell you how to mill reform soap rember its witch craft black arts soap makingsimmo3801 said:Thanks for that, I have a steamer that I can use for that. Do you add water to the grated soap at all? And will it just pour then harden like it was before?
