My husband prefers shaving with Dr. Bronners Peppermint Shaving Soap, unfortunately our local market changed from carrying shaving cream to shaving gel a few years ago. Since the switch, my husband has been shaving with a bar of Dr Bronner’s  Peppermint Pure Castile Soap, however it does not lather as much as traditional shaving foams.

I decided to try make whipped shaving soap for a surprise. It was easy to make and produced 2 cups of lovely whipped shaving soap for $1.87.

Shaving Soap Recipe Ingredients

• 2.5 ounces Dr Bronner’s  Peppermint Pure Castile Soap (1/2 of a bar)
• 6 ounces of water (3/4 cup)

Directions

1. Cut the Castile soap into small pieces and combine with water in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and  stir until the soap is completely dissolved.
3. Set the pan on the back of the stove to cool. Wait until the soap/water mixture solidifies (from 3-6 hours in a house that is 70 degrees).
4. Whisk the soap by hand or with a portable electric mixer until it resembles stiff whipped cream.
5. Store in a closed container and use within a few weeks for best results.

The whipped shaving soap recipe makes an excellent lather using a shaving brush. (It can be applied with your hands too.)  It is also great for legs.

Tip: Dr Bronner’s  Peppermint Pure Castile Soap is a great shower soap too. It’s invigorating smell and tingly later make it a great substitute for less healthy “male
scented soaps.
