This will be the official information and interaction as I get the Dapper Dragon line of soaps ready for launch.
I'm happy to hear anyone's questions, suggestions, wishlists or other types of input. A few members of the community have gotten to try the soap during the testing phase, and they're welcome to chime in with their thoughts.
Where We Are
So far, I have a soap formula that I'm happy with in terms of performance and skin care. The only part I'm unsure about is the hardness.
In fact, yesterday I made a batch of new soap, with a new scent, and increased the percentage of Sodium Hydroxide to make the soap a bit harder. What I ended up with seems to perform just as well (I'll be using it for a few days) but is a firm croap instead of a very soft/sticky one.
Jasmine & Vanilla Shave Soap (v4)

Holds its shape under its own weight:

But the lather is very nice:

And lasts - this is after sitting for 15 minutes:

I look forward to sharing the fruits of my labor with you all!
