I had some leftover Speick shaving stick soap nubs from sticks, some facial soaps from various motels, which I always swipe, and some of Kirk's Castille bar soap. I ground up the soaps with a cheese grinder, mixed in a steel bowl with a bit water and a little olive oil, added a few drops tea tree oil, heated the slurry to melt the soap and to boil off the water. Then I filled a few generic 2 oz twist-up containers with the soap, which is currently firming up. After drying the sticks out for a few weeks, they should provide fairly long-lasting shaving soap sticks. The ratio of soaps is about 1/3 Speick, 1/3 facial soap, and 1/3 Castille soap. See below how it looks.
On another message board where I mentioned making my own shaving sticks, I was lambasted for doing so - ironically by someone who also used to post here! I just happen to like experimenting with homemade concoctions.
