After seeing so many soap making videos where they're tip-toeing throughout the entire process, it's so damn refreshing to see someone RELAX, assemble the ingredients and just make some frappin' soap, dammit.

He’s like, “whatever man!” I love it cause overthinking this stuff held me back. Thank you so much my friend for giving us the push we so need!

Lmao! “I got soap, I’ll wash my hands” 😂😂 I love your videos man!

I love that you say you don't have to worry about temps and be all fussy with making soap. And I love that you don't wear gloves and glasses and stuff. Lol. I don't wear any protective stuff or worry about temps when making my soap. I too am mostly about function over fussy. I don't even know how to do a swirl. Lol. Though I do love to watch Katie do it on royalty soaps. I just make very basic soaps. Lol

Simply adore your videos. Thank you,

Thank you. I will try this recipe next week. I’m excited about it.

Thanks for making things much simpler.

Thank you. I have been wanting to try soap making and have watched several videos. This gives me the courage to try!

Thank you for these videos! I recently started looking into soap making and the business aspect of it and I just wanted to say that your videos have relieved so much anxiety with starting something new!

Thank you for all your information. I've wanted to start my own business for a very long time. You are very detailed and it helps a lot!!!

I would love to try this soap!

Thank you so much for making this, I feel like I might actually live through making a batch of soap! Other videos make it feel like a life or death situation. Your videos make me feel so calm, casua,l and confident about it!

I love watching your videos . I make and sell soap. I don’t have my own shop unfortunately as I live in Sydney . You are real and realistic !! and every time I watch your videos I am inspired..

I love the beard. I also love the trim. It makes you look more put together.

Love it! Keeping it simple!

THANKS Uncle Jon...my fav line is when you pointed at the camera telling us "dont temp me" ..really enjoy your simple way of soaping ...seems less stressful by far...so glade you can still do business online and drive by ...Be Blessed Uncle Jon to you and your family !

Thank you Mr jon 🤗 you make us no worry about anything..

Thanks for sharing Uncle Jon! Keep it real!

Wow!!! Thanks for posting. I was so scared to try soap making because everyone was talking about being precise and accurate. So thanks not so scared. And I just moved to Jersey from Queens, NY. And I’m loving it.

So glad I found you! So much easier!!

You are great Uncle Jon

Thank you! Love the simplicity! And the shorter beard.

Wow this was such a simple video, I'm new to soaping just 3 weeks in I've been making only melt and pour the easiest process but I want to move onto cold process. I've been so nervous with all the measuring and temperatures it's all so confusing but your video made me feel a better. Thank you

HI uncle Jon i started making soaps several months ago, im a beginner, i like how you explain it ,your not complicated, you make it so easy, i like the melt and pour, takes about 4 hours, after watching a few of your tutorials i realized i can make cold process soap, i kept reading it took 4 weeks, if i wanted to sell it i couldn't thank you great information

Best videos to watch. Cool. Calm. Collected. 🇺🇲❤🇺🇲

I really like your soap videos...thx!

I love your attitude. Our Ancestors didn’t have any fancy gadgets to measure heat but they made soap without perfect measurements.

It looks great!!!

This video is a blessing. Currently looking into making homemade lye and then using said lye to make soap. A project my sister and I are looking into. Been using lye soap myself this last month, and a lot of my skin issues are healing. After years of not healing. Thanks for the video, Uncle Jon!

I love your craziness uncle John

Jon, great job!

Thank you for your simplicity!! love the beard!

Thank you for sharing the recipe . I always enjoy watching your soap making videos all the way from Okinawa Japan 😃👍

You take the stress out of it. Very cool 😎

Enjoyed the video Jon. Straight forward and understand the process.🙏👌👌👌❤️

Jersey represent!! Thanks for the awesome video

Looking good

You make the best videos.. thanks for all you teach us

Waoo Be flexible!!! The best advice with a good recipe . Thanks a lot man!😍

Make Some Soap, Uncle Jon! Make Some Soap! We Love Your Channel.

Thank you very much sir

When I started saying, I was going nuts but trying to get the temps within range. I ended talking to a couple of so soap makers. They taught to soap at room temperature. It was a game changer. Now my soaps look and perform way better. Got my confidence up in the craft as well. Even made two batches of Pine Tar.👍🏻

IV never made soap but been thinking about trying and came across your channel so I'm going to give it a try see what I can do

Interesting presentation.. thanks

"their was an old guy Joe, he had a bit of a smell... I don't put that in my barber shop though" hahaha that cracked me up man, love your style Uncle Jon don't ever change haha

Uncle Jon, I enjoy your channel and watching your videos. Thank you!

I like the fact that you don't do all the frills, just functional soap. Thanks

hello Uncle Jon. woke up this morning thinking i wanna learn to make my own soap. you know,i m gettin bored with this confinement thing... i started utube and find almost right away your videos. call me shocker but i have watch your 50 videos all day long, and i m now feeling pretty confident to start doing it myself. you explain things so well. i have written down 6 full pages of advices from you. YOU ARE THE BOSS!! i susbcribed to your channel, i m on to it! thanks for being there. also you have a sick beard!! love it. that is actually what made me click on your videos at the first place

I really enjoy your videos. Im getting ready to make my first batch of soap.I pray it turns out well.

looking good

simple is the 3 ingredients, water, lard, lye, This is what we call the simple.Thank you for the video.

So true, about how picky people think they have to be. If I hadn't already known how to make soap, how to videos would have discouraged me from learning 🙂

Digging the beard trim brother. Love the videos. Am just learning. I appreciate what you do.

Yeah!!! I ca. Use palm oil in solid state. Ty

Just rewatched your making simple soap recipe. This recipe is what made you my favorite soaper to watch; a lot of others frustrate me to no end with soap making rules. That brought me to this...I don't remember anyone ever saying this, but surely I'm not the only one that can tell by smell when soap has reached the point in mixing that it will set up. The trace test is what I always go by, but at about that time the smell of the soap changes subtly. I don't know how to explain it, but I think that is the point of suponification. I know. I over think. But it was interesting to me.

Beard like great! Just discovered your channel, about a week ago. Love it!

I really like this guy :)

Thank you Uncke Jon

Love the beard cut!!!

Yay!

GREAT BEARD. LOOKS LIKE THE NEW STYLE

I honestly didn't expect words like mantra and ta-daa coming from that southern mouth(although you did explain, you grew up in jersey) lol. really refreshing to hear people like you. ~keep it up.coming straight at you from karachi, pakistan. Also never stop starting ur videos with yuuuppp.

What you said was important, and that was keep the ordeal simple

Your beard looks fantastic!!!

I like you. You make me feel I can. But 10 months later. 2 batches hardened. After outta mold. I wondered about wax. Ty uncle Jon

I love the smell of bergamot would love to make a soap that smells like that

Just come across your channel and I wish I found it earlier. I’ve been so scared lol to make cold compress because of the lye and other soap makers really put me off. You are to the point and no bs. Love it. Gonna have to binge watch your videos now lol. Is there no way of making soap without lye? I’m in the uk and just learning. I did read you can’t but still don’t wanna believe it 😂🤣😂. Thanks John.

Ok, now you need to make a video that goes into detail sodium lactate. I have never heard of it and I have a recipe (of my own) that comes out REALLY soft in the beginning. It has a lot of goodies like pureed cucumber, aloe leaf, rice milk (home-made), home grown mulberry silk (dissolved in the lye water before pouring) and green clay. I know, it's not simple but OH MA GAH the lather is just divine and leave my hands feeling nice.

You make soap making, Just easier for me.

Love your videos! Thank you for showing the simplicity of how soap making can be .. Oh .. And trim that hair!! lol .. Please keep the videos coming :)

I love your "I don't care" attitude towards the "soaping laws". U make it super easy for newbies. Keep soaping bros...." You are doing well"

Acceptance of the soap 🧼 & working with ingredients. My first loaf mold excellerated & I just went with it & my mind was Blown 🥰. Thank you Uncle Jon

John, I really don’t comment much, except to yell at flat earthers - anyway - I appreciate that you stick to being flexible. I’ve been making soap for my daughters’ store for the last 6 months. I’ve been through good and bad batches, and trying to zero in on my ideal recipie. Anyway - thanks for being honest. Come back to NJ one day, Joe...

My father was a barber and there is this smell that he used to use after he would cut and put on the neck man it smelled so good and I would love to make a soap that smells like that

Hi Jon, I’m new to soap making and loving it. One question about this recipe please. Can I use Canola “or” Grapeseed Oil? The Grapeseed is in the recipe, but you used only Canola. Thanks, and I’m really enjoying your videos. You teach concisely and well. I appreciate this.👍

I thank you very much Unc Jon's. I made my 1st out 3 or maybe 10 batches of soap correctly. lol So, glad that I stopped passing by your channel & tunned in. Thanks for the encouragement to take fear out of CP soap making. I didn't worry about pouring my lye & oil times (as you indicated) & I got a creamy product. Thanks, You Rock.

thank you great info, Is hemp oil a good oil? and what would be good to mix with it

Hi, I’m very new here and am very excited to start making soap! Can I use my regular immersion blender that I use for daily cooking or is it better to have separate supplies just in case? Thanks!

Caddyshack! Haven't seen that in years :)

I enjoy listening to your videos. Question - This Lye calculator, where can I find that to figure my mix? The other ingredients, where can I go to find the out?

What if you are allergic to soy, is there anything you can substitute for the flakes? I LOVE your video! I am a beginner and REALLY want to make soap and your video has been the best i have seen!!

Thank you. Please make rise soap, using olive oil, would live to order

👍

Hello, do you have any suggestions on fragrances gentle enough to add to a feminine soap. I want to use some fragrance body oil but I’m not sure if I should; so I’m thinking I’ll just essential oils because I do want it to be hypoallergenic but still smell nice.

yes where did you get your supplies and how do you cut it

Have you written a book? I would surely purchase. You are so real with this craft and I love it.

I had bought some of your mint soap while visiting your shop. After using it, and liking it a lot, we have gotten down to the center and it is very soft. Is this normal? It still cleans but we worry that it will 'melt' and go away. I do not know if this is cold processed or not. Theresa & Garry

Jon you are a legend. Do you ship to Ireland? Do you recommend any books guides etc?

Hey! I wanna try this recipe but which soy wax to i use for it?

Best damn soap channel. Can I use this recipe for all soaps with different FOs?

Thanks for your videos! Just found your channel today. I'm wondering if your soap goes through gel phase without being covered. I saw you slide your mold under your microwave in other videos, but I don't think you covered it. I've been making hot process soap for several years and would like to make more CP, but have had a few fails regarding insulating and gel phase, etc with some partial gels.

Hey I try this recipe can u tell me if I just wanna use one mold that holds 40 oz the recepie I have to use please

"Still touchin' my face, as you can see" "Joe...he had kind of a weird smell...I don't put that in my Barbershop" 😂😂

are those accurate measurements above as I'm going to make my first ever soap and will use your recipe, thanks!

Hi, I’m new to making soap (haven’t done one yet 🙄, but I will ) and all the videos I watched made it look soooo complicated ,I’m so happy I found yours 😀. I have only one question, so... I don’t have to use distilled water for the lye?? Thank you!

Ok

Beard looks good Jon

Where do you by all supplies

What’s the proper protocol if you do accidentally spill your lye water?

"I'm still touching my face" "Eh, I got soap, I'll wash my hands" 🤣😂👍
