Antidiarrheal shaving soap

[binowatch]

Over the weekend I found a large chunk of well dehyrated castille soap frm Provence. On a lark I chopped off a piece, cut into small pieces, added a small amount of olive oil (clearly a mistake) and lacking clay I had a old bottle of original formula Kaopectate made from pectin and kaolin. Popped into microwave-stirred and got an odd goo that when cooled had an odd rubbery quality-prob from the pectin. After cooling I attacked it with my Rooney and got volumes of poor quality lather and a poor shave. So as an isolated product it was terrible but it may be the first antidiarrheal shave soap!

So feeding this to a chain-smoker will give you Tabac?

I have only one question..."Why, Oh Why?"

I had been reading how the slippery nature of shaving soap was due to the added clay-kaolin, bentonite etc. I've always enjoyed using castille soap and figured that the addition of clay could turn it into nice shaving soap-the soap I had was so dessicated that a bit of olive oil was used more as a base for the heating of the soap. I had no clay but remembered the old bottle of kaopectate-interestingly the new formula is different in the US-the same as peptobismol (bismuth subsalycilate) - and wanting to do it THEN I just did what I did with the results stated. The humour of the concoction was better than the actual result! I think this may have actually been a very late rebellion against all the hours spent in labs throughout my student days - the carefull measuring, the weighing, the strict record keeping-all that disciplined education now degenerated to this!!! It is liberating!!
