Homemade Laundry Detergent

I searched the internet for homemade laundry detergents and found a dry one to make. 
Pros: 
It was very easy to make
It lasts forever!  
Ingredients were easy to find at grocery store
It's cheaper than buying it from the store... a lot cheaper.
Cons:
Shaving soap is hard work! I ended up using my blender, which was not good on my blender.
The smell of the ingredients gave me a headache, I could only do it with the doors and windows open.
RECIPE
Mix Equal Parts Borax and Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1 Fels Naptha Bar* to every cup of mix (shaved)
I also added Calgon water softener to my mix
*other soap bars work just as well (ivory, pure & natural, etc.)
TO USE
1 or 2 TABLESPOONS per wash load
