    I really want to try the book club for this summer, it'll be a first for me!

    And a soapmaking/soap enthusiasts tribe. I just wanted to know how soap was made, really really liked it, and have been slightly obsessed ever since.

    I'm not really in the position to make it (yet), but I'd sure love a place to talk about traditional soap best places to buy soap, novelty soaps, soap in general.

    I know, it's so fucking random, but soap man, it's amazing.

    Edit: I'm willing to locate to a tribe that has my interest in its umbrella like bodycare or something.

      I just made a tribe yesterday even though I haven't had enough time to populate it.

        I know how you feel i actually started a tribe a while ago /t/fixit and then completely forgot about it until this comment. I've just been too busy to populate it. That said any of you have any submission or whatnot i'll totally take them or try to answer them :-P

        /t/homesteads? To be honest with you, I had to look up the term to know if soap would fit under it, and it definitely would! Consider your tribe expanded by one. :)

          It definitely fits, but what I was getting at was that it's pretty easy to start your own tribe. /t/soap hasn't been made yet and if you are a soap enthusiast (I actually enjoy making and using fancy and different soaps too) you should start the tribe. At least claim it for yourself and you can worry about populating it later. I'd be happy for you to cross-post things between /t/soap and /t/homestead!

            Oh. I guess by my own words I have to start it now. But the damn comes are messing with the dorms WiFi. I am typing this with a tablet touchscreen.

      Sweet. I'd be down to learn how to make soap. Perhaps we can look into getting fat from unconventional sources, and then get some lye tattoos? I always thought it'd be cool to carry soap around in a briefcase as a soap salesman. We can start a club! But what would we call it?

        Lye Tattoos!? Is this some sort of Fight Club Fad?

        And since traditional soap was made from animal fat, I guess you could save up on bacon drippings?

        And Lathernuts? Making a vague reference to soap nuts in the title, show we know some things!

        WAIT NO NOT lathernuts, that is an awful idea in hindsight. But I do like the word lather...

        IDK, if the tribe isn't made by Friday night, I'll start it up. I have enough links to start up some content.

          Lol my whole comment was just a big Fight Club reference. The correct answer is obviously 'Fight Club', but ideally someone would have replied with something like 'Soap Club?' to make it funny.

          Anyway, go for it!

          Close call, bro.

            So you're constantly breaking the first rule of Fight Club?

      Make it already! You can grow it at your own pace and submit stuff you find relevant using the "snap it" bookmarklet function.
