Getting old sucks sometimes. Had to carry 2 x 50lbs = 100 lbs of Tallow up the stairs this morning, and now my back is outta wack. Like wtf?
I know I have to die one day, but can't I feel like I'm 16 the whole time 🤷🤣

You, quite literally, don't need any other soap for bathing.

I need to recalibrate that explanation.
Yes! you can use the soap as a shampoo bar.
It's all natural, and doesn't strip your natural oils (sebum) like the poisonous detergents in the shampoo most use off the shelf.
Thank you for pointing that out 🙏
I know there are quite a few people that have figured this out.

Exactly 💯 brother
Running your own business is a 24/7 endeavor, for the most part.
My typical day is getting up at 6am. (I know, I sleep in 😂) Having a few cups of coffee while watching whatever Bitcoin podcast that I haven't seen, and checking my setup, ( nodes, wallets, website, etc) to make sure they're running properly.
Next, I see what orders I have to pack, and ship. Some days it's relatively simple, with just a few, and other days, it may take several hours.
Next, I have to start working on replenishing my inventory, which can take another 6-8 hours, depending on what, and how much, I need to make.
And don't forget, that in between all this, I have to run the marketing. Hopping on social media, and coming up with new schemes using guerilla marketing to expand.
Don't get it wrong. I'm not bitching. I love doing this. I'm on a mission.
I want the circular economy to expand, and for everyone to realize that Bitcoin needs to be used as a Medium of Exchange. Because that's how we win, imo.
Giving me, or any other vendor, a shout out cost you 60 seconds. But, little by little, it expands the Bitcoin ecosystem, as well as expanding the need for Nostr as a free speech protocol.
Didn't mean to be so loquacious, but this is dear to my 💜
Appreciate all of you on the same mission 🫡🫂

Short history of soap's evolution through history.
Tallow soap—crafted through the simple saponification of rendered animal fat (primarily beef tallow) with lye—stands as one of humanity’s most time-tested, skin-nourishing cleansers. Used effectively since ancient times (evident in Babylonian recipes from ~2800 BCE mixing fats and ashes), it powered hygiene through Roman eras, Medieval Europe, and Colonial American homesteads. Families rendered their own from kitchen byproducts, creating hardy bars ideal for laundry, dishes, and body use.
cleaninginstitute.org
Tallow’s magic lies in its composition: its fatty acids closely mimic human sebum, delivering natural moisturizing and conditioning that leaves skin soft rather than stripped. It produces a rich, creamy lather, forms a hard, long-lasting bar, and avoids the dryness or irritation common with many modern alternatives.
restingbeefface.com
Industrial era and the initial commercialization Soap-making scaled dramatically during the Industrial Revolution. The 1791 Leblanc process enabled cheap alkali, and factories like Procter & Gamble (founded 1837) ramped up production using tallow alongside emerging vegetable oils. While this made soap more accessible, it began shifting away from the pure, homemade tallow tradition toward standardized commercial products.
ranchersrender.com
Early commercial bars, including Ivory (1879), often still drew on tallow’s strengths before leaning more heavily on vegetable sources for volume.The 20th-century shift: synthetics rise amid wartime pressures The bigger departure from traditional tallow soap accelerated with World War I (and repeated in WWII). Shortages of fats—diverted for glycerin in explosives—pushed chemists to invent synthetic detergents from alternative chemicals starting around 1916 in Germany. These “syndets” (e.g., early alkyl sulfonates, later Dreft in 1933 and Tide in 1946) weren’t true soaps but lab-created surfactants.
cleaninginstitute.org
Industry adopted them heavily post-war for scalability: they didn’t rely on variable fat supplies, performed without scum in hard water, and suited mass marketing. By the 1950s, synthetics dominated laundry and many personal care items, often with added fragrances, preservatives, dyes, and surfactants like SLS.Why tallow remains superior—and is making a comeback The move to commercial synthetics and vegetable-heavy soaps was driven more by wartime necessity, supply-chain convenience, and profit than by superior skin benefits. Many modern “soaps” (especially liquids and body washes) are actually detergents that can strip natural oils, leading to dryness or sensitivity. Tallow soap, by contrast, cleans effectively while replenishing lipids—ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.Advantages of tallow soap include: Biocompatibility — Matches skin’s natural fats for deep conditioning without residue.
Sustainability — Utilizes a natural byproduct of meat production (reducing waste) rather than relying on large-scale monocrop oils or petroleum derivatives.
Simplicity — Minimal ingredients: just tallow and lye (plus optional essential oils in artisanal versions). No harsh synthetics.
Performance — Hard bars with excellent lather, longevity, and versatility for body, face, or even shaving.
Today, a strong resurgence in tallow soap reflects growing awareness of natural skincare. Artisanal makers and traditionalists are reviving refined recipes—often with added nourishing oils—for superior bars that outperform many commercial options in gentleness and efficacy. It’s a return to what worked for centuries before industry prioritized volume over tradition.In essence, while commercial “chemical-laden” products captured the market through convenience and marketing during times of scarcity, tallow soap endures as the more holistic, skin-friendly choice. Its comeback honors a proven heritage: effective, nourishing, and rooted in natural resources. If you’re considering making or switching to it, the benefits for skin and simplicity are well worth it.
