I found out about Carrie’s book while watching Amy Warden's shaving soap video (linked below). Carrie's book has been extremely helpful to me, so I wanted to pass the info along to you. If you want to learn about making shaving soap, I highly recommend it. :)

*** SAFETY INFORMATION ***
Keep all pets and children away from the area when making soap. Always wear safety glasses and keep your skin protected at all times.

This is an advanced soap making technique. Before attempting a dual-lye soap, it is highly advisable to start with basic cold process soap and gain a thorough understanding of the process and how to deal with lye.

When adding the dual-lye solution to the oils, the mixture can volcano up and out of the pot.
- Be sure to use a pot with plenty of room
- Keep your lye and oil temperatures very close together
- Add the lye to the oils very slowly (stirring well after each addition and waiting on a reaction)

**** RECIPE ****
My total recipe oil wt was 500g

Stearic Acid - 60%

Coconut Oil - 15%
Cocoa Butter - 5%
Castor Oil - 5%

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) - 40%
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) - 60%

To calculate your dual-lye amounts, you can use the soap calculators at Soapee (http://soapee.com/calculator) or Majestic Mountain Sage (https://bit.ly/234ixsG). Both calculate amounts for hybrid lye solutions.

Water = 2.6 x (NaOH + KOH) (28% lye solution)

Glycerin - 10% of the total oil weight
(50g for my 500g recipe)

Essential Oil Blend:
Lavender - 50%
Cedarwood - 45%
Patchouli - 5%
