Formula
Makes approx 15 lbs of finished soap

15 oz. Castor
15 oz. Palm Kernel
5 oz. Shea Butter
48 oz. Olive Oil
48 oz. Shortening
48 oz. Lard or Palm Oil

58 oz. Water or Water/Milk
23.50 oz Lye (approx. 5% superfatted)
OR
24.25 oz Lye (approx. 2% superfatted)
1/2 to 1 Tbsp. of Bentonite Clay per lb of oils
(Can add this at the beginning or the middle of the mixing so it is incorporated well)

If you like to make this for handmilling which is what I am going to use it for, I am going to add a bit of mixed oils, Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Apricot Kernel, about 1 Tbsp. per lb of soap, to it when I mill it to bring the superfatting up. This is only when making it with the 1% superfatting. If making it with the higher superfatting I will use a bit of Jojoba, about 1 tsp. per lb of soap to help with softening the skin.

Now if using this for CP shaving soap you can use the 5% superfatting level and if you want more of a good oils suspended in the mix, add 1 tsp. of a good oil, per lb of oils and liquid, adding at trace is fine.
