I useta buy ground lamb in college. Taht stuff was mostly fat. I stored up a quart of it and decided to make soap. The smell was payback for all the weird sh*t my Iranian roommates kept frying on way-too-hot sheetmetal pans.
I tried to use the soap on my jeans, but the water at college was too hard. Rinsing (and repeating and repeating and repeating...) was a royal pain.
The soap STUNK of old mutton tallow. Yow. Did ok on plates but not glasses.

Well, I was hoping someone else would make the soap for me. Of course.<g>

I used to use Octagon soap for cleaning, so I do have some experience with lye soap.

I should point out that I don't think I have should be any cleaner than anyone else I know. But, I confess, I'd rather live here and now. The first thing I'd miss would be my contact lenses. Then contact lens cleaner. Underarm deodorant. Tampons. Toothbrushes. Dental floss. Foundation. Mascara. Eye liner. Shampoo. Conditioner. The list goes on . . . .
