Here is one that could be used for the ladies or men folks. :-)

This is one that fits the #4 log mold if you like. Our you can use round molds to fit inside a wide bottom mug or the mug itself.

4 oz Shea Butter
4 oz Cocoa Butter
8 oz Coconut
8 oz Castor
14 oz Olive
14 oz Lard or Palm Oil
At trace I sometimes add a bit of Jojoba. Just a couple of tsp. or so.

6.88 oz Lye (7% superfatted)
16 oz water or water/milk
1/2 to 1 Tbsp. or so of Bentonite Clay per lb. of oils
(Can add this at the beginning or the middle of the mixing so it is incorporated well)

Fragrance of you choice. I love just plain Bay Rum for this one and also Bay Rum with a woody fragrance or 2. If you want floral for a ladies soap, use Rose, Lily of the Valley, Lilac, Lavender/Rose or whatever you like. :-)
