I just made my second ever batch a few days ago, and decided to try out a pencil line. I've just cut my soap, and even know I cleaned the knife between each cut, the cocoa powder has still left dragging marks on the bars. Is there any way of cleaning these marks off? Any tips will be greatly...

Wow, I'm absolutely in love with all of your soaps! They'll make the most perfect gifts :) This picture definitely inspires me to practice practice practice!

I've already had my first few soap dreams and I've only made one batch :') I've definitely been bitten by the soaping bug!

I did a zap test on the really white bits and they were exactly the same as the other bits - no sting or tingle or anything. Because it's not zapping, that means its okay to use after curing, yes? It's just an aesthetic problem? I've cut it up now so here's a picture.

The oils I'm using are olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil. I'm still dithering about what percentages of each I need to be using. Am I right in thinking 50% OO, 25% CO & 25% PO will work okay? Would you change the proportions if it were you? I just want to make a basic recipe that'll work for...

I ordered it a few days ago so will be here next week. I'll be seeing my family the week after Christmas so I'm hoping that will give me just enough time to cure it? Otherwise, I'll just give it to them anyway once it's finished curing after Christmas :) I haven't even made my first soap yet...

Hello everybody! I've been reading through the forums over the last few weeks, and have finally taken the plunge to post and say hi :) I'm currently studying psychology at university, and my new obsession with learning how to make soap is now becoming a good distraction for coursework...
