In my everlasting quest to simplify my life, I noticed that certain soaps worked pretty well for everything I need. I wondered if I made my own soap, if I could get just enough of the right kind of lather to shave with it, but also not have too much residue left on hair. Over time I've developed this recipe and I continue to improve it. My goal is to have one product - made of extremely high quality ingredients - that does all the jobs I need. I relish in avoiding the long list of chemicals in commercial shampoo, conditioner, shave cream and face wash. I will admit this is probably only a good product for men with short hair. But I have long-ish hair and I love it. Let me know what you think by emailing me at evancharlesmoore at gmail.com
