It may not be a butterfly swirl, but it's gorgeous :) Love the colors!!

I'm in FL and with the exception of this order ( during the sale and placed at 10:30 PM ) they're always pretty quick. Orders usually ship within 2 days of being placed and are here 3 days after that....unless a weekend falls in there, and that's on UPS making me wait a few extra days since they...

Same here. I emailed them asking about it since I've never had to wait this long before for an order from them. They replied quickly and said the response to the sale was immense, so many orders placed that day that they're a bit behind and working as fast as they can to get them all shipped...

I figured the stearic had something to do with it :) Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Thanks for the great tutorial Lindy :) I'm going to whipping this one up this week :D I do have a question though about the rot time. I know there's probably a very good reason for such a long cure/rot, but why is this so different from bar soap and liquid soap? We're using mostly KOH...

Looks wonderful :) Can't wait to see the cut pics!

It may not have been what you intended but it looks great to me :D Nice job :)

I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than I should have, but ooooooh it was all on sale! I justified it all by reminding hubby that he got a new Kitchen Aide mixer this week so I was entitled to go a little crazy at WSP tonight! Thank goodness I had to work today so I only had a little bit of time to...

Congrats on the adorable new addition to you family :) My husband is Pappy as well to all the grands!

What an awesome Christmas gift! I need to get one of Bud's cutters, maybe I'll get lucky and get one for my birthday next week lol

So I tweaked and experimented a bit tonight and switched things up :) I used the following in a small 10oz batch with a 3% lye discount 50% Stearic Acid 24% Tallow 20% Coconut 6% Castor 70% KOH, 30% NaOH - dissolved in 2oz water - remainder of liquid was split between Aloe Gel from my plants...

Today my shaving soap that I made on 11/30 is 3 weeks old, and I've been using it to shave for the last 1.5 weeks. I'm in love and will never buy another commercial shaving cream again! I had come to believe that red, bumpy spots were a given when shaving bikini line, and just learned to live...

I too suffer from SMS whenever I HP :( No matter how I put it in the molds.

Oh very pretty, love the colors you used! Congrats on your 1st swirl :D

I'm in Central FL where our humidity level is always high, usually between 60% and 80% - I've never had that problem either.

That was it, it was the FO! Just tested a very small amount and as soon as I stirred it in, we have lanolin consistency again! Thanks DeeAnna, sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees! The obvious culprit escaped me. I just assumed it must be the PS80!

Good idea DeeAnna, I'll give that a try and see what happens!

Ahhh, nope, different FOs - so you think it's the FO not the PS80 causing it to thicken up?

Recipe OO : 70% CO : 15% Castor : 15% Superfat 2% I used the glycerin method - 6.9 oz KOH, 9 oz water, and 3 oz. glycerin Diluted 48 oz paste with 59 oz water - got a great consistency I just measured out 40 oz of diluted soap to scent & for the 40 oz of soap I measured out 1.5 oz FO and...

Let me start by saying I don't make liquid soap often, and I've never really used PS80 before at all. A couple weeks ago I diluted some soap paste to my desired consistency and when it came time to scent the diluted soap I measured equal parts PS80 and FO as directed. When I added it to my...
