Thanks will do, I'll ask nicely :)
My soap recipe was from a course I went to, but now that hubby says it's not
very lathery, I wouldn't mind a change to get what is better.

Your best bet is to kindly ask Gina for her soap recipe (she might give you
this off forum not sure) as it creates a really nice lather, my mum loves it
and so does Bill. Once you have a great base recipe then you can play and
change things and see how it impacts on the soap.
I would've assumed with a large proportion of coconut oil it would be very
lathery and I agree with Mandy as little as 5% castor oil to your recipe
will create small bubbles.
