Actor and Stand-up Comedian, Jim Germano, learns to make lotion with SoapCrafters.com. Pam Love at SoapCrafters.com gets Jim into the kitchen to make a shea butter lotion from scratch and basically do her work for her. This video is spread over 4 parts, and this is the first part.

As it turns out, you can teach a comic new tricks! The parrot and the dog caused only a little trouble in part one.

Topics covered in part one: why shea butter will go lumpy, how to properly use shea butter, the talking bird in the background is an African Grey and where Jim is performing lately.
