Realistically I am not going to make it myself as I barely know how to cook. Is there perhaps a similar product on the market? Also I got to ask what are you comparing this with? Have you sampled over 20 high end shaving creams to confidently say its better than anything out there? Because if you are comparing this to some cheap Gillette soap that doesn't inspire confidence.
I am still interested but need to see it in action. Maybe you have a video shaving one side of the face with your product vs the other side say with a reputable brand like Southern Witchcrafs?
Think of this like gear set up on a zealer and I am asking for the gear stats want to determine if this is some new incredible build or are you just using charsi meme build.
no, the process is somewhat labor intensive but i think you can just buy it on amazon but the actual production cost is very cheap and the quality and this is surprising and will beat nearly all commercial products i have ever tried. there are downsides in that the soap does have a shelf life because it does use fresh oils, if you self produce it then its cheap, if you buy it then it can be more expensive then most commercial soaps.
you could try these and it would be of equal quality to what i can produce:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2NTFBK8/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5https://www.amazon.com/Compagnie-Provence-Savon-Marseille-Olive/dp/B003XWU9JEhttps://www.amazon.com/Pre-Provence-Butter-Enriched-Artisanal/dp/B00BWNGLS4/the process is extremely simple to produce, the material cost is cheap and the quality and effects on the skin will make you straight ditch commercial products. i use it as a shaving cream, a body wash, and shampoo all in one product. after you have tried it you will understand the cost of buying it on amazon and self produce it in bulk. when ever i give it out as holiday/birthday gifts the demand is so high i just explain how they can produce it and what equipment is needed.
you will need a gram scale, a stainless steel very large bowl, some tupperware, a immersion blender, goggles, chemical gloves, soap molds, olive oil and sodium hydroxide, distilled water.
measure out your sodium hydroxide put in a tupperware dish
measure out water
measure out olive oil
mix carefully sodium hydroxide by mixing into water. dont dump water into the sodium hydroxide but small amounts of sodium hydroxide into water. use gloves as the water will nearly boil
allow water mix to cool for about 10 min
grab large bowl, fill with olive oil, slowly pour water hydroxide mix into the oil
run your hand immersion blender on low for a minute then step it up to low / medium. when placing the blender into the oil when starting ensure the blade cup does not trap any air into the oil or you will add micro bubbles to it. dont allow the blender to go faster then a low medium
blending will take about 5 minutes in total you will notice with your large spoon the oil will get thicker and if you can with another spoon trace a line across the spoon then blending is done.
place into soap molds or you can use a tupperware or a loaf mold and just cut the bars with a knife later.
the soap will take about 3-4 days to harden as olive oil is a softer oil compared to something like coconut.
then you pop the soap out and i put it on cardboard on a stainless steel rack to air cure for a minimum of a 50 days.
from right to left we got olive oil soap with 5% superfat of avocado oil
the darker soap is olive oil coconut and coco butter
then we got fresh honey
then we got a jug of homemade apple wine that got done clarifying so its ready to use.
try out the stuff on amazon and i got a feeling when you see how effective it is you wont ever go back to buying commercial shaving creams or soaps.
