ah-soy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I found this recipe while doing a search of old posts:Shaving Cream Stick Per lb. of FBB add: 1 oz. cocoa butter 1 oz. melted palm kernel oil or flakes 0.5 oz. white kaolin clay 1 oz. castor oil FO, colorant There were no directions included so I'm guessing just melt the butters, and add with other ingredients to the FBB base and whip away?Just wondering if anyone has tried it and could describe how it sets up. Is it like a lotion bar or stick that you can put in a push-up or twist up tube or even mold into a shape?Thought I'd check before using up a pound of my FBB base. Thanks!

CareBear Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 why don't you try using a few oz of your FBB...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Well, according to FBB instructions a minimum of 2 lbs is required to create enough volume within the beaters to whip it. I thought I'd start with 1lb in a smaller bowl and only use one beater so I didn't waste as much on an experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singleyellowrose Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 While I have never tried that particular recipe, I have used less FBB, so it can be done. Since the recipe is for a stick, you wouldn't really be whipping it for volume anyways. I use a narrow top 4c measuring cup when I do it.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
