anyone make a glycerin shaving soap

[elle110]

I have a male customer who wants a glycerin shaving soap, anything you would suggest to make it a creamy lather? Anyone make one?

Do you mean MP or making your own the CP way? I make a MP shaving soap with clay and castor oil added to it. It gives an amazingly close shave when used with a shaving brush. The clay gives it slick and the castor gives a bit of a lather. I add about a tsp of each to 4oz of base. My husband was a real picky shaver, he never used any soap or foam, preferring a 'wet' shave under the shower head. He loves this recipe and uses it all the time now which is saving me money on hot water

If itis only 4 oz. then you should only add about a 1/2 tsp of B&B safe FO. HTH

I use aussie pink clay in mine. It does give a slight clay smell so you do need fragrance to cover it. The clay also colors it of course so you might want a cream/white or brown clay if its for a bloke:)

stephenson's olive oil base makes a terrific shaving soap, just as it is.
