What do you add to your melted soap?

[Jobol]

So I am about to melt a VDH bar into a bow and I was wondering what to add to it before it hardens.

Here is what I am thinking:

-Glycerin
-Jojoba oil
-Vitamin E
-Orange oil


What do you guys add to your melted soap?

Family Dollar Ivy Club....

I tried some maple extract....that was awesome.

The next time I tried some orange fragrance....that was awesome.

Whatever you think smells good pretty much....

I have a few different smells, musgo VDH, clubman VDH, and cool water VDH. I just add a few drops of my favorite cologne or AS when I make my shave sticks.

Nothing!

If a soap doesn't work for me straight out of the package I don't use it.

I will however melt down and combine soaps for use in my guest bathroom. It makes unique hand soap.

How much glycerin would you have to add to make a noticeable difference in a puck of VDH?

I like to add a few drops for each shave, but I have no idea how that translates to a whole puck.

If you added enough to be the equivalent of a "few drops for each shave" I don't think the soap would re-harden. It's probably better to keep adding it shave by shave.

Time to find a nice soap squirter to fill with glycerin!
