Thanks. That's the $32.59 Cadillac version! I'm considering getting it instead because the wood part where the soap slides through is more of right angle and the blade is held in place by metal and screw instead of piece of wood jammed in.

Do you think this will work?

Good point. I thought of that too. Another good point. I looked up the leading "natural" bar price online. It was considerably cheaper than in a store located in my city...what has become an expensive metro area.

I was just wondering not so much to make a profit but what I should charge people if they asked to buy a bar...the market rate.

I made carrot oil once. Dried it in the oven then infused it in AO. It was a lot of work. I was hoping to get an orange color oil but it came out golden yellow.

Fellow USA soapers, How much do you sell each bar for? If this query has been addressed in a recent thread, please re-direct me. Thanks in advance.

Update: I shower tested, then hand tested my bar. The bar had thick gel on it that got sticky/snotty when hand tested after showering. It def needs to dry out btwn uses.

Are u using butters to harden or condition?

Thx for sharing. I use AO as my HO oil. I’m curious to know who else knows a significant number of people topically allergic to almonds.

@Zany_in_CO I read your curing recommendation above. For clarification, do you think this recipe needs a longer cure than a normal well balanced recipe (i.e. one with a lot of saturated oil)? 6 weeks is usually my minimum but I'm wondering if I should give this soap a couple more weeks due to...

I had a surprising inquiry today. A few weeks back I gave one my orange bars to a colleague for a bday present. This morning she said that she loves the way it makes her skin feel and asked if I sold. I replied that I didn't but that I'd be happy to supply her with bars. Maybe this weird...
