It is the old-style sub-forum after all.

Grate your bar of soap
Bring 8 cups of water to the boil & turn off the heat
Slowly whisk in grated soap until its all melted
Add 2 TBSP coconut oil
Whisk everything together, it will look like soapy water
Let pot sit for 15 minutes
Give another good whisk
Let cool & set for 12 hrs
Whisk (she suggests using an electric whisk) until resembles liquid soap
Like I said, I havent tried it yet, so.......
I do plan on trying it once i have bottles empty to refill0
