Could be. It does loosen back up part way.

Seeing this in the list of threads, I was trying to figure out how you used fish eggs in soap. :mrgreen:

OI have most of my stuff printed and in a binder, or in charts tacked on the walls for things I make over and over. However, I can use Chrome Remote Desktop on my tablet to run things from my computer, so I can get info out of SoapMaker if I need to.

Last night I made 3 batches of shave soap, including two new scents for release later this month.

I have a question about the freezer step: What are we doing there? Is it just to make it cool faster so you can cut it? Or is it necessary to keep it from falling like a bad souffle? Eric

If you buy homogenized palm oil, and it all melts for some reason, is it still homogenized? Meaning, if it sat in a hot garage, or even a hot truck while being delivered, does it re-harden still evenly distributed, or does it go back to its normal state?

Interesting. Mine makes the mixture stiffer - more like mashed potatoes than the vaseline-like texture after it's cooked but before additives.

The way things have been going I don't think I'm going to sign up this month, but it looks pretty fun. I'll try to play along. ETA: Also, if you're doing colorants could you just put them in with the hard oils?

At first, I did it in my kitchen. Clean up wasn't a problem as I always worked on a clean area and wiped it down thoroughly with water and then cleaning spray whether I thought I had spilled anything or not. Once I decided to start making shave soap commercially and needed to have multiple pots...

I got my first one last weekend. Had to mash it into a tray mold and hope for the best.

As long as it's not onion scented. :)

Very nice solution!

Do you mind telling us how the travelling faux funnel swirl works? Based on the name and the look I'd guess that it's the faux funnel swirl, but moving the point of the pour every 2 times? Eric

False eyelash soap!

Hey, at least there's already plenty of soap down. :)

My experience is that vanilla + purple is a heartache waiting to happen. The browns from vanilla are dark/desaturated yellows, from a color theory perspective. Yellow is the complement of purple, and the combination makes for a gray-to-brown color, depending on the relative amounts. I made a...

It's a traditional Italian colonia. Citrus, lavender, oakmoss I think, others. Old fashioned but elegant. I got some of the EdC for Christmas last year.
