Besides what was already mentioned, I would want a clarification of what you mean by oily. Does it feel oily when you wash with the soap? Is there oil sitting on the soap? The more details you provide, the more likely you are to receive a pinpointed, accurate answer. Hope

I also like plastic canvas for curing. Easy to clean and ensures no metal contact. Hope

How do you like the feel of the soap queen formula? Hope

Hugs to you. Love my pups but they do test my patience sometimes. FYI paper products are extremely appealing to many dogs. One of my beagle mix is super sonic quick to snag your napkin after dinner. So are any oils, salves, etc. I had one that was addicted to Vaseline (back when I used it)...

That sounds lovely. What is the cure time? Hope

i do this as well. May i suggest labeling it well? Dunno how many times theman tried to feed it to me. Hope

Zaneys Castille is fabulous! Hope

I just started playing with it and have the same results. Hope

I was about to play with a pumice scrub for my feet. Suggestions of what ratio to start with? Hope

Does it have that whiff of decaying fish? I'm one of the few crazies that misses that scent. Hope

I am in the finishing stages of tweaking a 3 butter lard soap. Trying to decide if I need all three or not. I do love it though and I think the butter brings something beyond what I got from the lard. I have SWA for my liquid and am working on figuring out the best lower cost sub that brings...

I thought I was prepared for rose FO acceleration but I couldn't help myself and gave a wee little whir of my stick blender just to be sure the FO was mixed. Oops! :-) Now I understand what soap on a stick looks like. I'm thinking about chopping it up and using as pink confetti. I dont have...

If you are ever inclined to share I would also be grateful for any tips. I have previously read (and tried to digest) the incredibly long shaving thread elsewhere in the forum. I've made that one, one with soy wax, and a couple others and none are quite right. The man really deserves a better...

My favorite soaps are lard and butter. Thick creamy lather and my skin is soft as a baby's butt. Hope The illipe is harder than kokum. With the lard it should definitely be hardening by now I would think. Very odd. Hope

I got some from them last year and we were disappointed. Wonder if they changed suppliers. Hope

What kind of reaction? Love learning. Also I giggled at this as I got a plain soap from a local soaper and it dried the crap out of my skin. I had to toss it. How funny and different we all are. (Also I actually love a plain white soap - so pretty!) Hope

THIS is why I don't want to CPOP anymore. Especially since the oven is brand new and an expensive induction that the man splurged on for me. Hope

This particular formula in the first week is already gentle and non-stripping, unlike some well cured formulas I've tried - both of my own making and purchased from various sources. It continues to improve with age but my testers get used a lot for hand washing while the big bars are curing and...

I'm working on finalizing tweaks to this as my base formula for when I sell so don't want to share. But I can tell you that lard and butters will make a creamy lather. Additives can also make a huge difference. Hope

I disagree with the absolute that CP soap is ALWAYS harsh and rough to skin with a 2-÷ day cure. I have a formula that is very creamy lather (in hard water no less) with nice after feel on hands - not drying at all. I've done some small tweaks on it variations and a few batches and they're all...
