Tonight on a whim, I thought I would attempt making some shaving powder... you know, like they used way back when. Anyway, the process went fairly quick and the results where, well... shaving powder.
What I did was cut up three cakes of modern Williams and placed those pieces into my food processor. I pulverized those little pieces on high, until it was like talcum powder. This took about 8 to 10 minutes. Then I added to that in the food processor, 1/4 cup of Shower to Shower 'Sport' Body Powder for a better fragrance and to help keep the lather more stable and thicker when produced. I pulsed the body powder in with the powdered soap for about 3 minutes, making sure it was incorporated well with the soap powder. Lastly, I dumped it all into a ziplock freezer bag for safe keeping until I get the proper container to dispense it from.
This coming Wednesday night, I'll shave with this new powder and see how it goes. Instead of using Shower to Shower, I thought about using simple cornstarch. Since Shower to Shower has cornstarch in it (first listed ingredient) I just threw that in.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
