It went like this.....

Glycerine soap base...check
Glycerine... check
Vitimin E oil....check
Myrrh essential oil.... check....
Bentonite clay... check

Sexy and expensive fossil soap thingie/jar which I have a fetish for... check

I like the ammonites and little shells of proto clams and a scallop or  two and what not


Phaze two... when you add bentonite the color of the soap isn't so pretty, its more..bleh

Up close its kinda... greyish, bluey and I dunno...... the fact I made it on the fly and slopped it around didnt help..but my intent wasn't presentation it was function..and as far as function went it was pretty cool

Seriously the lather was as thick as whipping cream... dead white and lasted forever... the glycerine was just the thing to smoothify my leathery exterior.. Im thinking aloe next, balsam and some other add on luxurys, not that myrrh wasn't a nice touch... I don't want to add colorants to the soap.. so next go its kaolin to see it that gives a better look... theres a red clay that looks nice but I need to find a primary source or I can make soap without clay.. its only in the mix to make it slippery...so a control sample without clay is prolly a good idea... how much slip does it give vs the fugly factor being the question.. I got a good shave out of it regardless..an now Im all soft an pretty...

I'll think about colorants a little, titanium dioxide is what gets used to make soap white its also an ingredient in sunscreen..soooo who knows..I reserve the right to a Darwinan evaluation
