1/4 C stearic acid 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 C hot water 1 tsp Borax 2 Tbsp grated Soap (she calls for castille, I was going to substitute mine)
Melt stearic acid and oil in double boiler until a clear liquid forms. Mix hot water, Borax, and Soap and stir until until the Borax and Soap are dissolved. Pour the Soap solution into a blender and blend well for about 1 minute. Slowly pour the melted stearic acid mixture into the Soap solution. Blend on high until a smooth cream forms.
Pour into a clean container and allow to cool completely. To use, soften your beard (or legs) with warm water and then apply the shaving cream. Use a sharp, clean razor.
