Why recepie famous for?

This is the shave soap I use most often in the shower because it is easy, inexpensive and works great. Some men may find it harsh on the face due to the high liquid castile content.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Natural Aloe Vera Gel (not juice!)
1 TBSP Olive or Almond Oil
1/4 cup Liquid castile Soap
1/4 cup warm Distilled Water (or lavender infused)
Vitamin E or Grapefruit Seed Extract (to preserve)
Essential Oils for Fragrance (optional) – I use lavender
8 ounce or larger Foaming Soap Bottle

Instructions

Grate soap and on low heat, melt soap down with oil or aloe vera. It will take a while, so be patient and stir often.
Once melted, stir in the cosmetic clay (this makes a richer lather and is great for the skin).
Pour into molds (I use cardboard) or old mugs and let set for several days until it re-hardens. Will last months and will cure more over time, making it longer lasting.
