My hubby owns a tree company and I split wood for him and you probably have no idea how much those soaps look like rings/the grain pattern of a tree where there is a notch or two branches. I think they look great!

I am also a girl...but I will say that there are far more men soaping then I ever imagined. Not really a tremendous number, but more than I would have expected.

I don't have Soapmaker 3 yet, but I hear that it does a really good job of giving you the cost of your soap. It really all depends, as each recipe with different ingredients is going to have a different cost per bar. I was able to work out that when I made the Castille, it cost me 54 cents per...

Seems like it might actually work out after all. Yay!

Oh no! This sounds exactly like something my husband would do. You should see my flat castile. I hope it works out.

Oh, that may work. And since his business is tree work, he has plenty of expensive - very expensive saws that I am certain he does not want me touching. The sad fact is that my husband's company uses every bit of every tree that they take down, and doing my shelves would probably only take a...

Wow! Such clean swirls! Those look great!

Did you cut it??? If not, I have no idea how you have waited so long!!

I don't know the rules for you, but in my mind, I would think that putting lye would not be necessary if you are posting the way you said above because the way the oils are now listed would imply that lye has already been a factor. But in this case, I would list the gly, like you were saying...

I also found 1 ounce tubes of Cocoa Butter at Family Dollar for $2 each and at Sally's Beauty Supply for $1.69.

The video said that the bar they made was actually a gift for the first lady there, but this Etsy ad is just insane. They are obviously banking big on the concept that a fool and his money are soon parted.

Wow! That is so pretty! I love it!

Exactly!! I saw an ad on Etsy once for a soap that was supposed to make you rich if you washed with it and it talked all about how you just use it sparingly and apparently some sort of magic would come to you or some such nonsense. They were charging $135 for one golf ball sized piece that...

Oh, I even like the broken bar. It looks so natural that way. And I love how white Castile is. Great job! Doesn't look crumbly like I was picturing in my head.

It's a matter of principle at this point Arthur! I take care of our five kids, do all the cooking, laundry, cleaning and run his business for him. I was told I had to keep everything in a closet and if I cleaned out it (not a single thing in it was mine, all his) and found a home for everything...

I looked to see if anyone posted this yet, but didn't see it and I wasn't quite sure where to put it so if this is the wrong place, please move it. Holy cow!! A $2800 bar of soap!!! :Kitten Love: I wish I could make and sell those. I would never stop soaping to even sleep! It looks like it would...

Huh??? That's interesting. How exactly do they pull that off?? And if possible, which I don't believe it is, why would you want to?? Weirdos.

LOL!! At this point, the only thing I am planning to use it for is to kick my husband in the rear end to get my shelves in the closet made so he will stop throwing his shoes on my stuff!

I have noticed this with a couple of batches before. I haven't had the partial gel, but I have had some were the edges started to melt after taking it out. So what I have been doing is leaving it in the freezer until it is totally frozen and then putting it in the fridge for a while and then...

Okay...so that was just wrong. But it does look good! Is it not after 3 where you are?
