I'm just wondering how many of us have tried making our own shaving soap. Not the melt and pour kind, rather the kind with tallow-y goodness. I'm wondering what kind of success you've had.
I started making soap about 5 years ago and since my voyage into DE shaving, have started producing my own shaving soaps. Quality-wise, they're excellent...and hell, they even smell great! I have seen talk of the shavepocolypse and figured I shan't be caught without the means to shave. I've been watching all the reformulation of tallow-based soaps, and it has made me sad. All in the name of being eco-friendly or whatnot. I figure there are plenty of people eating steaks and burgers out there and all the byproducts--in this case, the fat--has to go someplace; why not put a smile on some man's face?
