shaving soap
Notes:
Add about 2 teaspoons of bentonite or other clay for every pound of soap in the batch. Bentonite clay is preferred, though you can use kaolin, rhassoul, or fuller's earth. The clay helps give the soap extra "slip" and also works to purify your skin. (Think of a clay or mud mask.) The added castor helps give a thick creamy lather. All you need to do is grab a shaving brush.
Pour the soap directly into coffee mugs or tins. Another option is to pour it into lengths of 3-inch PVC pipe that has one end plugged up. This will give you a disc of soap that can be placed into a mug or tin. Let the soap cure as normal, and when it's done, enjoy a wonderfully old-fashioned, but terrific shaving soap.
