My soap making hobby came about like all my other hobbies.... I jump head first into the deep end and learn to swim. My first beer brewing setup was 5 gallon minimums with a 5 tap kegorator. My first reloader was a Dillon 650 with case feeder. My first shave soap will be:
Organic Grass Fed Beef Tallow, Stearic Acid, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Mango Butter, Kokum Butter, Castor Oil, Lanolin
First I melt the stearic on high heat as it has the highest melting point.
Then I add the Tallow. This is some seriously beautiful stuff, I'm glad I went ahead and bought the best ingredients I could find. The cost is not a lot when you consider the price per ounce and I'm not interested in saving a few dollars on a puck of shave soap, as they say soap is cheap.
Next it's time to add all the other butters and oils and let them melt on high in the crock pot.
While those are melting get your lye solution ready. I am using 60% KOH 40% NaOH for this first recipe.
