Gent's V9

Back in the saddle. I put through a batch with a friend this afternoon. Tallow & lanolin made long awaited returns...

The pucks have been in their mould for about an hour now. They retain a little of the yellow due to the 1/3 olive oil but the tallow creaminess is unmistakable. Smelling up close there's a subtle hint of wool wax, the nuttiness of olive oil and then this wonderful 'clean' profile emanates from the still warm soap.

We made enough for three healthy sized pucks. The plan is to mature them for six weeks before the initial test lathers.

Can't wait to see how they go. I'm very confident they'll be incredible.

Is it hard to buy Tallow?

You can buy it in the supermarket in 500g blocks. Plenty big enough for doing small batch soaps for one's self. [emoji12]

It is called supa fry and get the red cube. About $3-5 and I have found it to be excellent quality for soap making.

It also makes excellent candles.

Really? I've got a box full of Arco here..... I'm tempted to give it a go. Provided you aren't pulling my leg.

I couldn't resist so one of the pucks got sacrificed to the lather gods. I'll age the others.

It has 1% jojoba and 0.25% lanolin. The jojoba gives the lather the ice cream effect. It may not appear this way but a massive quantity of water has been incorporated.

It's so slick on the hands and very easy to build lather with. It smells great. Nice & fresh. The lather is highly stable.

I'm happy with V9. I'm already formulating plans for V10.

Wow! That is a lot of lather!

Looks crazy cool @khun_diddy

Very interesting reading, the process itself seems straightforward but finessing the chemistry is not surprisingly the complicated aspect. Still, very much food for thought though
