elle110 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I have a male customer who wants a glycerin shaving soap, anything you would suggest to make it a creamy lather? Anyone make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachdream Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elle110 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 If itis only 4 oz. then you should only add about a 1/2 tsp of B&B safe FO. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachdream Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
