shaving soap no. 4 (tallow) test batch
Notes:
This recipe is a test batch based on necessity being the mother of invention. Cedar EO was not delivered, tea tree came in the box instead. So I bought palmarosa and pottered about with other EOs to make the end result.
Came to trace pretty damn quick and I suspect I was too generous with the bentonite. Mix is now sitting in moulds, looks nasty, smells lovely.
We shall see...
