I live in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies. Finally found a bulk supplier to get coconut oil from by the kegs. I also steamed some of my soaps to get them looking a bit shiney. Placed them in shrink wrap bags (last set as I am changing packaging). I'm about to shrink, label and pack them aside...

Oh thank you for this response. I greatly appreciate it.

Ohhh, ok cool. Thanks.

Oh wow. This is quite informative. Thanks for sharing. Truly appreciate it.

Thanks. I don't have an electric knife lol. However, I did come up with an idea of what to do. May post if successful.

How did it turn out for you? I also have some ABS that I want to transform into a bar to help with my marks.

I thought of using the meat grinder but never tried it lol. I haven't seen or heard any issues with it. Bramble Berry sells it, a lot of soapers use it. It's just like any other exfoliant. Will try out the meat grinder. Thanks.

Looks lovely!

Ah ok, I got some whole luffa and have been trying to figure out how to shred it. Tried using a coffee grinder, bullet, food processor but nothing has worked so far lol. I hope to figure it out soon. Thanks for replying.

Searched and found this thread. I made a batch of soap yesterday and forgot to put in my Olive Oil. I just unmolded it it's not too hard so I am going to try rebatching. Do I just measure out the amount of Olive Oils I missed and add the distilled water gradually while it's melting or wait for...
