Nice. I'm becoming a bar soap maxi

Me too. I'll never buy "soap" or shampoo again 🤝

what, you make soap now too?

Decentralize everything!

Yes! I started last year with dismal results, but I got better.

Last time I made a body soap. This one's a general cleaning recipe.

Call it Soap Miner and we can all have a soap war.

Soap Wars!

Exclusively on Nostr.

The best soap should try.

I hope this one turns out how I want. I made a recipe that should be good for washing dishes and around the house.

superb 🤙

Ouh, what fragrance?

This one's unscented 😁

It'll be for washing dishes/general purpose cleaning.

how long does it take?

To do the first mix is about 45 minutes. Making the lye solution outdoors, melting down the fats, and letting them cool.

Then after mixing the two, I'll whisk it for 10 minutes, then every 30 minutes until it forms the trace, like a thick custard. Then I pour it in a mold and about 12 hours later I can take it out and cut it.

Now it's about 6 weeks to cure before it's safe to use. All the lye needs to finish reacting and it needs to lose most of its water content.
