Thanks everyone for the kind words. Keep me in mind if you ever need anything! :)

I am a graphic designer by trade. I freelance design, and I am also the GM of a Sign/Print shop, so I get to make my own custom labels too. :) Here is a link to my website. www.molitordesigns.com

So I did end up making my coffe soap last weekend, and everything went perfectly, however, I wasnt thrilled with the scent. It just smelled like chocolate dirt... I didnt use any EOs, just the brewed coffe and a hanfull of used grounds from the espresso machine at work. I kinda wish I made a...

Ive only used my wooden spoons for my first 3 batches and already they are pliable and falling apart. Silicone spatula is in order.

Good to see you. Welcome from southern Illinois. :wave: I havent found any brick and mortar stores around me that sell anything more than MP supplies. There are a couple of local alternative shops that sell EOs, but they are about 75% more expensive than I can find them at bulkapothacary.com or...

I'll be waiting to see responses as I am planning to make my own shave soap to replace Col. Conk (love it) but it will need a rich long lasting lather.

It doesn't sound like temperature is your problem, rather humidity. You could try keeping your soaps in a room with a dehumidifier.

Looks good! Welcome from southern Illinois. :wave:

Welcome from Southern Illinois :wave:

I did make a couple of batches this weekend. A black tea and Lemongrass (with tea grounds), and Coffee (with coffee grounds)

Those look great! Love the scent combos. What is tobacco juice? As a former user of chewing tobacco, the image in my head isn't a good one. How did you use the bay leaves?

So, I've got another noob question. If its neutral, before it folds over, can I mold it?

Army :).

Great! Thanks.

Just made my own labels and wraping paper! Wooo Hoooo!

You're 2 years ahead of me! Welcome from Southern Illinois! :wave:

I made my first batch ever last weekend (HP), and I am looking to make another this weekend. My question is, do I have to cook it in the crock for 3 hours like it says in my book, or can I just cook it until it is neutral (took about 30 min last time), then transfer it to a mold, and oven bake...

I know coffee is more acidic than water, so if you substitute strong coffee in your lye solution, do you need to add and more lye?

I'm new myself, but when I put that recipe in to my soap calc on iPhone, it gave me 2.88oz lye when i figured for the lard it gave me 3.03 for lye. My understanding is that if your recipe is lye heavy, it can make for a more crumbly and harsh soap.
