    Is there any way to make castille less 'slimey'?

    I've just used my first bar of castille soap which I made a few weeks ago. I love the way it leaves my skin, but I think it feels horrible to touch!! Is there anything I could add to the recipe to cut down on the 'slimyness'? :?

    DOS...?

    If you get DOS on one batch of soap, is it likely that you will get it on all the batches made with the same recipe?

    Here is my first batch.
