Can't stop making it!!<br /><br />If you ever want to, you can go to Brambleberry.com and input the amount of oils you want into their lye calculator (on the left hand side, towards the bottom there is a link), choose a superfat level (%5-8% is good for body soap) and it spits out a recipe replete with lye and h2o factored in.

It is rough and grainy, and doesn't really have much odor to it. But it does clean, it gets the grit right off of you. I should look into making soap.
