I like mine at least an inch to 1.5 in. Not really thin though. Dunno why. Just don't. I don't have a shaper preference though.

That is fantastic!! I wish I had that much space.

I guess I should say I liked that I could put the oils in to melt and set a timer and walk away. Timer goes off, I go check, do my thing, set my timer, I walk away. I just felt LESS intense for me (plus I got a few rows of knitting done while doing it which was a MAJOR bonus). I think as long as...

I make 2 batches at a time 4-5 times a week. Tonight I made my first ever HP soap (chamomile) and rebatched some castille that the scent completely died on (Grapefruit). Last night, I did a goats milk basic in a loofa and the night before I made a cedarwood clary sage soap. VERY manly. I start...

You are a brave soul. I have just printed out all of my soapcalc recipes and scribbled notes and keep them all in a binder. Your way sounds so much better.

I tried hot processing my first batch tonight and I have to say I LOVED it. I didn't have to sit on top of it the whole time and it felt much less stressful. I don't think I will do this with every batch but if I have a floral or a scent I really want to pop, I am ALL over this. Thank you. I...

Oh sure! Rub it in. ;) Seriously though, they look great.

I like that idea!!

No matter what combo of grated soap, oil, water, temp, EO I use - it always ends up a clotty mess. I hate it. Why do people bother??

I have a palm, olive, avocado, shea butter soap at is REALLY close to white (with the TEENIEST green tint).

My path to soaping is a little odd. I am a writer and used to belong to a writer's forum where I "met" the Soap Crone. I bought her ebooks and a few soaps (as a show of support) and LOVED them all. I have been making soaps once or twice a year for the last few years - just what I needed and one...

Thanks for the Welcome. I do a LOT of writing in my day to day life so I am just to TIRED to write by the time I get here - if that makes any sense. It is so nice to sit back and read about people trying the same things and making the same mistakes as I am. I am really looking forward to...

Hi everyone, I don't comment much as I have not really had anything to add that hadn't already been covered but I did want to make a point of saying Hello and Thank you. I have been "stalking" this forum for the past few months and I can't believe how much I have learned in that time...

Okay, let me just state for the record that I am just "stupid" and not a "troll." :)

I am new to this forum (and relatively new to forums in general) but I am really confused as to what is going on. What is trolling? Please don't yell at me. I just want to know the proper way to address seemingly "stupid" (for lack of a better word) questions.

Even after a few years of soaping, I am still too chicken to use a soap before 4 weeks. Doesn't stop me from picking them up every day and smelling them while I wait though.

That looks great!

What she said!

Those are gorgeous!!! Great work.

That is hilarious!!
