Yes I swear this is a shaving related question I swear!
I've been researching and thinking of making some tallow based shave soap in my spare time and have been looking for a source of beef fat. My local grocery stores already collect it and sell it to some company for the cosmetics industry and some of the local butchers won't sell it or give it to you. Anyone got another idea a little outside the box? Heck I'm in IN I should be able to find beef fat
.... have been looking for a source of beef fat....
What about possum fat? I seem to recall that's what Granny was always rendering down for soap.
Failing that, just get it Fight Club style.
but that was for her Lye Soap!

Would you mind posting your recipe?
I saw some of you guys pay for your beef fat, that made me laugh because I work at Kroger in the meat market and we will give you the fat for free. All you have to do is ask because all we do with it is throw it away.
Liposuction clinic. The creamiest fat around.
for added slickness you can also catch the drippings from a spit or roast. this will have the fat and oil juices. store it overnight in a jar or something. even in the fridge. let it solidify.
my dad used to shave with it using a straight. he's favorite scent was Bulgarian lamb and Dobrovnik beef. i always wondered why the dogs on the farms would alway's follow him around and lick he's face??? all this time i thought he had a certain charm or charisma with the animals. i would call me own dog and it would never come when he was around. all he would have to do is step outside after a nice morning shave, stretch his arms, take a deep breath and bang,, 50 animals around him. soon as he changed to the canned gillette crap my dog comes every time i call him now.
