are you opposed to using lard? Lard and palm are really interchangeable (recheck lye calcs of course!)......alot of ppl think of palm as the vegetable lard. And personally, I prefer lard over palm. The soap just seems to have more "body" to it. Both make nice, hard, white bars of soap. Alone, each of them will give the same type of lather. Low lathering, but pretty stable. But somehow, lard just gives a certain kind of "oomph" that's missing when palm is used. And I really cant explain what that extra oomph is though.....lol
omg........I'm babbling. hope my point came across anyway.....it's been a LONG day in Lowe's and the furniture store.
