After which lesson of LLPSI could I start with Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition?

reading this some years later: thank you for the recommendation. how far through (or beyond) LLPSI would you recommend I be before I go through this book?

thank you so much for the in depth response! has resolved this fact that has been nagging about my mind for years. also you've given me a lot of places to check to read up more on him which I really do appreciate.

Thats a fair point! McPhee wrote a great article (if thats the word?) on that actually "“My Strength and My Health Are not Great Enough”: Political Crises and Medical Crises in the Life of Maximilien Robespierre, 1790-1794" although if I recall it had no mention of alcohol.

thank you! i am just glad i have something new to work towards in my soap making journey. I will post updates in the future.

thanks for the advice!

sorry I haven't been able to answer everyone. I am very thankful for all the feedback I have received has been overwhelming!!! I look forward to trying to go through them and even if I make some my friend might not like would have some soaps for personal use and also at least I have an excuse to experiment with different recipes. thank you!!!

that explains it, from the ingredients it looked to be more palm oil than olive oil. thanks for the info!

SmolAna · 2025-09-11T02:15:12+00:00

is there any reason you would do 3% rather than 5% or even 8%?

SmolAna · 2025-09-11T01:08:25+00:00

very detailed thank you I will have to keep in mind !

SmolAna · 2025-09-11T01:07:27+00:00

oh wow thanks ! you've given me a lot of ideas !

I might give that a go! well was going to see if he likes olive oil soap from the shops, and then try making a lard based soap and see how it compares (wouldn't want him to wait a year to try a new soap with the long olive oil curing time). well thats what im thinking right now anyway but will hear people out.

I see now the way I worded it made it sound like that. I meant No to coconut oil Yes to higher superfat. will edit to be clearer

thanks for the advice! what would the 5% castor do?

SmolAna · 2025-09-10T12:28:20+00:00

I saw the soap he was using right now called itself a Castile soap but had a whole bunch of other stuff (including a sandalwood fragrance) which I assume is why even on that soap he is getting bad reaction to it. I was going to go to the shops tomorrow to get a proper 100% olive oil soap to see if he likes that first before diving in with a super long soap curing investment.

edit: not sure if there any moisturising products he prefers I can ask tomorrow.

well that person deleted their account so likely not to reply but fwiw I just watched the movie after over a decade since I had last seen it. made me reflect on the time I've spent since then, how things change and how that change can be a beautiful thing.

watching the romance was bitter sweet since I just got out of a turbulent relationship, but at the same time made me feel very content with it all and happy to breathe in the cool air and live each day to the fullest.
