Shave Soap
Notes:
Inspired by Ruth Ellen, palm free - tallow instead
Purple round (puck-type) molds - 8 bars total
Make lye solution with 100% aloe vera juice, with a slice of silk fibers, 1 tsp sodium lactate once cooled
1 tsp honey (20 oz total recipe weight), Bentonite clay (1 tbsp per 20 oz full recipe weight)
5% fragrance, if it meets the safety rating
Mix 85 degrees or less. Blend to medium trace until bentonite clay is suspended in the batter. Consider swirling with two colors into mold.
