Lathering Instructions
Here are some videos and helpful suggestions: the videos were made by my customers and I want to thank them for sharing their expertise so generously here.
I chose to make my shaving soap with no coconut oil or coconut fatty acids because an excess of saponified coconut oil can be drying to the skin. Also, some people are allergic to coconut oil. Saponified coconut oil makes quick lather, but my soap lathers too - it just takes a little bit more patience. The reward is great skin care and post-shave feel. In 2016, after extensive testing with customers all over the country, I began adding a tiny amount of citric acid to my shaving soap as a chelating agent, which makes it easier to lather soap in hard water. Also, although my soap performs well in cool, tepid, and warm water, hot scuttles and overly hot water will cause the lather to break down.
