Ingredients:
1 bar Dove soap
1 bar Ivory soap
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon castor oil
Essential oils (try sweet orange and clove)
1 bottle of distilled water
1 grater
1 stainless steel pot (8 quart)
1 ceramic coffee mug
1 Pringles can, emptied and cleaned
1 shaving brush (badger hair is best, boar’s hair is acceptable)
1 razor (a classic double-edge razor is the most traditional, but any will work.)
Grate 1 bar of Dove soap and 1 bar of Ivory soap into a large stainless steel pot
Add the olive oil and the castor oil to the soap mixture
Add just enough distilled water to the mixture so that the grated soap starts to stick together when stirred
Over low heat, continue stirring the soap mixture until everything is combined and the water begins to evaporate. This is called rebatching.
As the soap thickens, add essential oils for more manly fragrance
Pour the still-pliable thick liquid soap into a clean coffee mug and let it cure for several hours to a day. The final product should not be “goopy” … if it is, you can reheat it over a stove and evaporate more water out of the product. The best texture will be like chilled soft margarine (think the kind in a tub)
You’ll probably have leftover soap. Pour this into a small, cleaned Pringles potato crisps container. After it hardens, you can slice through the cardboard to make disks that you can use to refill your mug
