Trying to decide between cold and hot process methods for making shaving soap. Anyone have experience with both? How does the lather and skin feel compare?
Hot process gives quicker results, but cold process’s longer cure time can mean smoother lather. Try both!
Considering budget and efficiency, hot process might be more cost-effective if you’re looking for quicker results without extended curing. However, cold process can offer better long-term value with its smoother lather and gentler skin feel over time. Adding soy wax as a palm-free stearic acid substitute can enhance lather quality in both methods, while bentonite clay can improve slip, making each shave more comfortable and economical in the long run.
