Latest creation:

It's a M&P shaving soap made with a shaving soap base, bentonite clay and sandalwood fragrance. My brother-in-law uses a shop bought soap to shave with and wanted to see if I could create something he liked. It's left natural in colour and has a very mild fragrance to try and keep it as plain as possible because he's a very simple man.

Image

I took a bit out of the jug after it was poured and had a play with at it the sink - it lathers nicely and as suggested the bentonite clay does give it a very nice "slip". I'm hoping he likes it, if not I might make a more "feminine" bar of it and use it myself lol.

Naomi

Edited to add:

I should explain the presentation - its in a tub rather than a bar as he's a "shaving brush" kind of guy.

Hi, Naomi!

Okay, just to ease your mind - there are no set rules in fragrance usage. You can use as much as 15ml/15cc/half an oz fragrance per pound of soap or as little as 5cc/ml or 1/6oz if that's to your liking. One, some fragrances are stronger smelling than others; two, some are downright harsh on the skin if you use too much (I'm thinking of peppermint FO which to me is just as strong/bad as the EO) and three, you and the people you are making the soap for may have different tastes in how strong or soft you like your scent to be. I like my scents to be soft but lingering, whereas as an acquaintance of mine likes her perfume strong enough to be smelled across the room - which is why people tend to gather on the opposite side of the room from her at parties. :lol:

So relax, just measure how much total fragrance oil you're adding to how much base to get the exact amount of fragrance you prefer and use that as your guide the next time you use that FO again. :)
