Fisherman's Soap

I have made soap with Anise essential oil before, but I have not tried it out fishing. According to fisherman's legend, soap made with anise essential oil both masks human scent and attracts fish like mad!

This recipe for Fisherman's Soap is made with only coconut oil, and will lather well in even salt water.

1. Make a soap using 100% coconut oil. Be sure to calculate your lye using a recipe lye calculator!
2. Scent it with Anise essential oil.
3. After you pour the soap, check on it more often than you would for a standard recipe. It is going to get very hard very quickly. You'll need to unmold it an cut it soon. (As little as 4-5 hours!)

Let your fisherman (or woman) friends scrub their hands with the soap and see what sort of fish tales they bring back!
