We're hauling out the crock pot for some hot process action today! Normally I don't do hot process; cold process is much more satisfying. Do you know what any of those words mean? That's ok! I'm going to talk all about them in the video. As I do. Nonstop. Without pause.
This is a new shave soap batch that differs from the last shave bar we did; lots of stearic acid in this guy. Stearic acid is great for shave soaps as it creates a big giant lather that stands up and gives you a great guide to do the shaving thing.
Big things with this recipe - lots of water in it, as well as an additional liquid stage at the end. This is to keep the batch kinda fluid throughout so it is pourable. Which is...whatever. I don't find hot process soaps to ever be pourable. But the extra water helps!
If you're interested in the shave bars, you can find them on the website!

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.
