A great moisturizing shaving soap for both men and women! We wanted to do a shaving soap with Father’s Day right around the corner but this soap is also great for the ladies! 


What is shaving soap? Shaving soap is specifically formulated for shaving to have a high creamy lather and slip to it so the razor can glide over the skin and prevent razor burn. Shaving soaps are typically applied with a brush, washcloth or sponge. Let's get started!

Instructions:

  1. 1. Cut soap into 1 inch square chunks and weight out. 
  2. 2. Heat soap in the microwave at 50% powder in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each. You do not want to overheat soap as it will start to dry out. 

  1. 3. In a separate cup measure out glycerin and hydrosol. Mix together then disperse clay into mixture and add fragrance oil. 
  2. 4. Blend mixture into melted soap and stir until the mixture cools down. This way the clay will not fall to the bottom of the soap, if the soap is too hot and fluid the clay will sink. Once the consistency is correct, pour the soap into the pet jar.
  3. 5. Allow the soap to cool for 24 hours before capping. Then it’s ready to use!
