I've been using that Snappy Coconut Oil for awhile now, can't beat the price and with prime the shipping is free :D LOVE my prime!!

Tracking says I should have them FRIDAY :thumbup: Now, as long as the weather in the north east cooperates I should be one very happy soaper come Friday evening!!

I will definitely share pictures as soon as they get here. I "think" that soap just looks wonky in the photo, I hope so anyway. I hate molds that bow!

Oooh I feel for you! I was going crazy just being in the "large" box group! I think mine will ship out tomorrow so I'll have them Monday at the latest.

I ordered 3 of them on the 1st go round, they should be arriving this week :) When they get here I'll be sure to post pics of the mold AND the soaps that I make with them so everyone can see what they look like!

I 3rd that! It takes a few days normally but all my high vanilla soaps in time turn a beautiful dark brown!

Odd results froggy, or maybe I've just been lucky! I've not had any problems with dry and crumbly LS when used in CP for swirls and cutting wasn't a problem either.

What a shame, I love those colors!!! Beautiful soap :(

I've done it several times and yes, I'd suggest using a low sweat base to do it :) I've never tried it with anything other than LS, so I can't speak to how well that would work if you used regular M&P base.

WSP has a 12 bar mold for something like $25.00 - silicone and has cut guides in it as well

Thanks for explaining the difference so well DeeAnna. Even soapcalc refers to Lard as "Pig Tallow"

Just put a new batch of shaving soap in the mold, anxious to get it cooled and cut in the morning :)

I would think since it's "Pig Tallow" you could also get away with labeling it as simply tallow - I know we call it lard, but in the end it's still a tallow.

My bars are 3.5 x 2.5 - either tall and skinny or wide and short, when I texture the tops they're a bit taller. I cut all mine to 1 1/8" thick. I couldn't imagine a soap smaller than 1" thick, it'd just seem sooooo small

My last 3 test batches were just castor, co, and stearic - the stearic was at 30% with 1 part glycerin to 4 parts PG...we've had quite a bit of rain the last 2 days and I have bars stored in the bathroom....and I'm not seeing any sweating so far. The batch using aloe as the liquid isn't all...

I cleaned and organized my soaping supply shelves and just poured "FL Sunshine" into the mold...it's a Sweet Orange / Litsea EO blend with some M&P drizzles in the loaf and M&P orange wedge embeds on top. Next up is Bamboo Lotus!

Same here Seven! It's gotten better later in the day but earlier we were having 90%+ humidity, it's cooler the last couple weeks so that's a plus, I'm curious to see how these all hold up once the temps go back up as well! Please keep me posted on how your experiments go, I love using M&P...

I answered you up further, you may not have seen it. When using that mold and soaping at a 33% lye solution, I use 29 oz of oils to fill that mold :)

When I use 33% water and that mold I use 29 oz of oil :)

Right now I'm tinkering with a really basic recipe that uses more PG than Glycerin. I'm trying to keep the glycerin level down as much as possible to reduce sweating so we'll see. I did two batches today - one using aloe juice as the liquid the other using coconut milk, same exact oils, etc. I...
