M&P Shaving soap question, need "slip"

I know that there are many clays but would like to know what would be best to add to DH's shaving soap for better slip. I have tried a ton of different soap combos and he is still complaing that they drag while shaving. FYI, the bases I use are all from Sfic. I have about given up and am ready to :tiptoe: off to the store and buy him some shaving soap!

Bentonite and Kaolin white clay are known for there "slip" and good

for shaving soaps.

Thank you for your reply

Do you use both at the same time?

I would use one or the other don't see a need for both. As

I do not use M&P, hope someone will chime in on how to

incorporate it into your soap base.

i use 3/4 sfic shaving soap mixed with with 1/4 either gm or shea sfic soap base. i then add about 1 tbsp. pp of kaolin clay. i mix the clay with a small amount of hot mp base and stir until the clay has no lumps and is mixed well into base. i then add that to cooler base and stir until the base is thick and the clay is evenly suspended through out the mixed bases and the i pour it into whatever i am using as a mold or into a container.

Thanks Jazz, I tried M&P a few times but decided to

stick with CP.

I use bentonite in my shaving soaps (CP).

I've just recently started playing with shaving soap. I used Rhassouli clay and added 3% liquid silk, 2 TBL Castor Oil to the M&P base.

DH has a very course & thick beard and he is pleased with it, plus it did a great job on my legs . (a quality razor helps too) I haven't tried any of the other clays yet.
