Sounds like you had some fun. Well done. Can you post pictures of the batch? Its always interesting to see the fresh poured look, then the cut pics and then you get to see how they darken over time on curing rack too. i once did a vanilla and when fresh cut, it was dark brown around outside and...

This made me laugh out loud - well said. The answer is, many very descriptive words possibly considered not very ladylike ;)

Um, some idiot dropped it :shock: so took the top off it to tidy it up a bit. (Yes, i was the idiot) can't blame mere male nor boys. So what is the criteria for putting pics in the gallery? Okay, this was it before flying out of hands

Thought i would share a few pics of latest batches, and i may add pic of my first ever batches i made - just have to remember where i saw it the other day. Coconut Lemongrass (FO) / Coconut MIlk Honey Oats GM _ Natural Scent, sort of like caramel Lemongrass ( EO) / Coconut MIlk...

Does anyone else around here like to "play" with soapmaker program, pushing the numbers as high as possible? Maybe its just me? Maybe i have some kind of compulsive disorder :roll: I already created many recipes that are my main "go to " recipes however, I always like to push the...

Maybe i am simply a bit weird, but i'm not sure why you want to make a water based product for lips that will need a preservative. My next thought is that if the preservative didnt quite stand up over time, well i mean lips are virtually mouth, yes? Just say for arguments sake that a cream or...

I loved the first part of your answer, made me laugh. Another option maybe, is to add a " product in focus" post with description of your product, why ppl should be using it, whats great about it etc -( im sure you get my drift) then have a couple of sentences about unscrupulous ppl who take...

Im on my tablet but if nothing else you are only using soft oils and they take longer to harden. I will check amounts and lye when im in front of laptop.

My 10 yr old informed me he wants a bright yellow soap. Really? Why?, cause it would be really cool. Okay what scent, do you still want bay rum? Yes and bright yellow, not swirls or anything, just plain bright yellow. So I have promised him I will make him his own special yellow soap.

Hi, my name is Kylie and im an addict too :) Welcome to the forum .

Another vote for BB Energy FO. My bad FO experience was Bay Rum. I had been using sweetcakes version, and adored it, every man that tried it loved it not to mention the ladies too. Then, I ran out, couldnt get it due to out of stock, so..... First mistake: ordered the BB version. Sniffed it...

Very true jules92207, first learn to make soap - then experiment add some colour or whatever, then learn to swirl and layer and before we know it we are not only creating soap but in many cases beautiful works of art. Such a pity soapmakers are not recognised in the art world, as there are some...

Yes we all comment on the beauty of the soap in the picture, fair enough. Also, for new soapers, they have a sense of pride in what they have done so like to share with the rest of us. Also, the pictures can speak many words regarding techniques and outcomes = swirls, colours, additives etc...

Yep Always, the skinny end pieces off the log, usually make their way to my bathroom pretty quick. I do zap test though. first i sniff it - mmmm that smells divine, then i poke tongue out for zap test - all clear, ur coming with me, lol.:angel:

You have been having some fun haven't you. They are all really pretty, but #3 grabbed me. Its a bit different i guess.

When i made mine i used very strong coffee, mixed with the lye, added to oils, at trace added heaps of fresh ground coffee. Yes, this method makes for very stinky soap at first, but cures out to a mild coffee smell. not as strong as i had hoped, but it is ok. Does boiling it down to a syrup...

That is a very pretty soap.

I was wondering the same thing about them. I ordered a large lebermuth bay rum from them and it is now it is always out of stock. there were a few others i wanted to try, but they never answered my emails when i ordered the bay rum, so i was so relieved when it arrived. So.... who else sells...

when i did markets, i simply took a couple of boards with a block under each end ( the thickness of the blocks made the height - so i had 2 different heights) Just set them on the table then covered it with a large piece of material, then layed out all my goodies. Looked pretty neat...
