Hand Made Shaving Soap

[CaptainColour]

Hey everyone,

First time poster over here! I decided to start off with a topic that has been talked about many times before. I am attempting to make and perfect a hand made shaving soap.

Now, I am open to tips and tricks if anyone has any, but I make soap for a living. I own my own soap business and it is thriving quite well on natural soaps. I would like to expand to shaving soaps because I feel that if people want natural soaps, then why not natural shave soap. I plan to make pucks or even put the soap straight into mugs.

I am mostly posting here because I am looking for a few volunteers to test out my batches of soap. I would be willing to ship them to you if you are in an area that isn't going to cost me an arm and leg. These soaps will have different oils in them and will be unscented so a list of allergies (applicable to the soap, ie. nuts, wheat, skin irritants) will be necessary.

Let me know if you are interested over pm and we will chat about it! Thanks for taking a look.

Thought I would follow up, I'm looking for about 10 people. I have 1 definitely in and one interested. I am open to the idea of PIF with the bars of soap so that others can try it as well. I hope I answered any other questions you had!

This sounds very interesting. I wish I was creative enough to try something like this myself.

Unscented? Well I would be willing to help you test the batches, even if I do prefer scented stuff.
No allergies that I know of.

I'd love to be a guinea pig for you. If shipping is too much to me, I'd be willing to pitch in if you need. Good luck on the new branch of the business!

I tend to use soaps over creams and would love to be considered for the guinea pig role for you as well! Again with shipping we can all help on shipping charges, Its great to have the opportunity of another artisan on the forum =)

PM sent. With my extra-sensitive skin and myriad of allergies, I'm probably a good beta tester for anyone experimenting with unscented shaving soaps.

I'm up to about 8 people. Only two slots left, they are filling fast!

Just PM'd you if not too late.

Last two slots have been filled. Thank you to everyone who was interested! I will post again if some people decide they don't want to be guinea pigs Again, I will include ingredient lists so there will be no surprises, it would be dishonest otherwise! I may put in a few little things, just to spruce it up a bit (just some of my other smaller products and samples of my other soaps as well). Some one suggested I sign up as a vendor, and if these soaps go well, you can definitely find me on the vendor page! Thanks again!
