Homemade Soap

Do any of you gentlemen make your own soaps (shaving soaps and hand soaps)? I am thinking about making some and would appreciate any input. Also, what's a good soap supplier?
 
My sister makes soap and I was talking to her about making shaving soap, just last weekend. I googled shaving soap and found a lot of recipes.

It is possible to make your own, from scratch or to buy "soap bases" and add some special ingredients to enhance quality for shaving -- everything from fragrances to ingredients to improve the lubrication.

Here are a couple of sites I found interesting.

This next one has some interesting video links on making soap.
