Uh huh, that was me too. So, what I do is sulk and get pissed that I'm not the Carol's Daughter of the soaping world. :roll: The soap is in boxes some in linen closet, other in a box on the kitchen floor, and like you stated, I gift, gift, gift. :mrgreen: Oh wait, just remembered Helping...

Mine are stored in a cardboard box in the linen closet. I don't want 'em banged up as we go in and out for linen. Well dang girl, are you organized or what? Oh yeah, and Ms. Irish over there 👋

So what did you decide to do? Did you make the batch? Any pics :?:

I just did the 100% CO soap@ 20% SF and it is white. I'll throw up pics on my website hopefully this week.

That is some good news, Sabon. My first batch is curing. Oh and Irish Lass, here's what I came up with for a recipe when I went to SoapCalc (just wanting to make sure I'm on the right track): 1 pound batch 16 ounces CO 2.34 ozs lye 5.6 ozs water SF @ 20%

Good looking out, il. I'm outta here and offline in about 20 min. Think I'll batch her up first thing in the a.m. Think I'll do movie date with some chillun this eve. :wink:

Great idea. I'm going to ask the meat market dude. Oh yeah! Cool beans, this is good to know. 8)

Thanks all. Goofy here has the nerve to like the onion smell the next day after hands have been scrubbed with "regular" soap, LOL. Sounds like something good to have in the arsenal should a friend ask for it though. 8) I'm going to check out the links above though. Knowledge is power and all.

Thanks, IL; went over there right after asking the question (found a thread here about lye calcs). Think I'll do this batch this evening or in the 'morrow. Pics forthcoming . . . :lol:

I'm running the recipe through my fav calculators and lo and behold they do not have a provision for 20% SF. The two, thus far, only go up to 10% and I'm too much of a fraidy cat to double the numbers. I don't play with saponification values. What calculator did you ladies use, please? Thanks.

I've printed the top of this thread for consideration under quiet circumstances. When I first began making soap in '00 I just knew I would be the second Carol's Daughter, but of the soaping world. Umm, yeah, right. Moving ahead and on up to reality ...NOOOT! Still I have a yearning for a...

Whaaatttttt, are you serious IL. You know, I have NEVER heard of such a high SF in a soaping recipe. By golly I think I wanna try it just because. Hmmm, I'm kinda excited at the thought. I am seriously on a coconut kick this year after reading the benefits of coconut internally as well as...

Here's a kicker of a ?; why oh why would a person want coffee soap? IOW, what are the bennies, blah, blah, blah? I've kinda always wondered figured now would be a good time to ask.

Have you tried Essential Depot? Lightning fast shipping and decent sodium hydroxide prices. :D Keep 'em coming yaw'll; I'm listening. Cheers! :P

Got it, Genny. Thanks a heapa-bunch. Think I'll write this in my notes this time so I'll remember. Now, my next mission is to find a tallow source in the South. I know about Columbus Foods, but I'll bet there is something a little bit closer. The shipping is about $26.00 for a cube; that's...

How cool. Glad I stumbled upon this thread. I'll put one on one of my sites. Thanks, Chica! :lol:

I've seen it; know it exists, but for the life of me I can NOT figure out how to make CP white soap sans titanium dioxide. Okay, so my goat milk will contribute to a tan soap right? And, adding honey, right? So what oils (or is it a technique) do I need to make white soap :?: Thanks all...

I sure am and I always forget to visit there. So much surfing to do; so little time. :D Thank ya, dahlin'! We are working on 15.5 months. I've heard it said that you're newlywed for two years so I'm milking it; loving it everyday too! Re: Oh, okay. So glad you stopped, smellin' the...

Bravoooo, bravoooo; I'm sitting here clapping wildly!! :clap:

Greetz all! What made you choose the particular user name or avatar that you did? Name - it's mine; I love it. Avie: Dance is me (see profile) tell us what your user name and avatar mean to you! Name - Lyric is kinda self explanatory. I love music, all types to be exact. Avie: Dance is...
