Teach Soap

My first batch of soap I made from a kit has now cured.
I made 1/2 lavender, litsea, ylang, and half with green clay.
My husband used to make fun of me for buying soap from
a company in Ohio for $7.50 a bar (I think it's priceless)
He used the green clay bar and said, "Now THIS is worth $7.50"
YAY

Then, I made a cleaning soap.....good stuff.

Then, The Bastile recipe from Otion blog.
I infused the oil with lavender and chamomile since I don't have
calendula, and revised to fit my 12 bar mold from BB. I know
it needs to cure a long time, but.........I cut a sample size after
a week, and I love it! Slimey, soft castile.

Last night I made the palm free shaving soap from Otion blog
I left out the charchol I don't have and scented with rosemary and
mint EO's instead of litsea/tea tree. My sister came over after it was
poured and couldn't stop smelling it. The EO combo with the cocoa
butter mix smells amazing. When she left, my husband said,
"I thought she was going to wet her pants smelling your soap!"
YAY

Congrats! Now the addiction begins.

I spoke too soon.
I made the shaving soap yesterday at 4:00.
I went to take them out of the 12 bar silicone
mold just now, they looked and the tops felt
ready........but the bottom of the bar is SOFT
And I mean SOFT.
I followed and measured the recipe exact. It
does have a high olive and castor amount.
Do I just leave it in the mold for a few more days?
The recipe doesn't specify how long.
(sure smells good)

High castor oil makes for a softer bar. I would leave it in the mold for now. What was the recipe for the shaving soap?
