That makes sense. I’ll take your figures into account today when I tweak it. Thank you @Mobjack Bay

Thank you ! And to @Zany_in_CO , @earlene and @KiwiMoose . I have been using the 415 and did read your thread ! I’ve encountered the false trace before keeping my temp too low with the goat milk. I tried this yesterday using the recipe by Bunny that @Zany_in_CO provided and using 1/2 goat milk...

What is the reason you don't like soy wax in soaps @Zany_in_CO , out of curiosity?

Really??? Ok!!! And why did you stop using @earlene ?

That’s what Bunny’s post said!! Creamy lather? Hardness? Not drying? Sounds like a dream right? And I like the bars with soy wax , I just think it’s a bit more difficult to work with goats milk…but maybe I should just increase and find out 🙄

ETA: I apologize, I meant @MullersLaneFarm regarding stick blender !

I’ve tried to look at all all the threads and I’m not sure if I’m missing anything. Do any of you soapers combine goat milk with a soy wax recipe and if so , how much soy wax? I just was reading again , @Zany_in_CO post from Bunny and her recipe. I’ve read and gotten advice from @KiwiMoose , and...

I love that. I’ve mentioned before on other posts , but I send to my grandson in the military to share with his fellow troops. He just got back from a deployment from Saudi and Kuwait. Now I can send them to his base. He’s stationed at Fort Bliss and is one of the assigned troops to be with the...

This makes total sense since I started using the larger cubes. I noticed the same thing having to take the bowl out of the water as I mentioned above. I’ve not used an “ice” bath often , but did use cold water. Using the stick blender in the lye solution is an eye opener! ( with goggles lol!)...

WOW!!! Ok, now I actually might could do that! 20-30 fragrances at a time??!! I hadn’t thought of that. Making one bar… I have the 1 pound size .. that was frustrating. Either make enough to give or something.. I dunno. But I could do many one bars! And yes, I get being frustrated with it being...

I haven’t sold any soaps other than to a few friends and friends of friends who have insisted they pay for them . I have soaps I’ve kept for three years to check the scent and color. I have new soaps I’m ready to start selling that I’ve had for 6 months and longer. The ones that have lost their...

I feel better after reading your post as I’m afraid my patience is low too and tend to not want to reorder a week later if I like it, and will just try to make the best of it if I don’t like it. I think I learn from plunging ahead. My life story… But I’m not at the level where I would think of...

Of course! @cmzaha recommended the plumeria and hardwood musk and said to get from California Candle . They’re both really nice! My husband loves it! Both are FOs Thanks @Peachy Clean Soap ☺️

Second attempt at accomplishing this .. less spots, temperatures a tad warmer, accidentally added more sunflower oil and had to recalculate recipe. A little more unsaturated fats than I wanted, but went ahead for practice. I decided to try and add the blue and orange with the gold.. too fluid...

If this helps, I use goat milk all the time and play around with it. I do have fat globules sometimes in the lye mixture and I always use a sieve when I put the lye mixture in with the oils. I kinda mash everything....:rolleyes: I agree with @earlene about adding the sugar to the oils. I tried...

What a sweet heartfelt post @SoapDaddy70 . I love to read your posts and agree that there are many people here that are so committed to helping those of us who want to learn. I have a feeling you’ll be another one . Happy Anniversary with many more to come!

She LOVED it!

I have to backtrack and comment on this. There is no way I’d cut it either!

That video is amazing, as is your artwork! I shared your video with my daughter, the Frida fan.

Maybe? I’ve not seen glycerin rivers yet that I know of. I use a 1:2 ratio most of the time now. I wasn’t aware of the rose colors! Thanks for telling me! this is a mica by NS called magic mushroom . I was a little surprised it had more of a rose color to it than it looked in the bag. It...
