I'm assuming this is the book you're talking about? How to Make Shaving Soap If so I'd highly recommend it. It's written by Carrie Siebert of Soap Commander. It along with /u/jbisinla 's post are by far the best resources I've found.
edit: Just an additional thing to add, I believe somewhere in /u/jbisinla 's post there is a link to a soap making forum that chronicle Songwind's, who I believe is behind Dapper Dragon, (someone please correct me if that's wrong) soap making. It's pretty cool that with these 3 resources you get input from 3 highly respected soap makers.
Here's some reading related to our sub.
