So they say lol. It's been listed as discontinued for, like, over a year...maybe 2 years. Not sure what they're doing there. Maybe it's a way to get more purchases??? All the reviews are positive and beg not to discontinue it. I have a hunch it'll be around for some time yet.

I love the videos. It really helps to understand the challenge more than pictures alone. Unfortunately my videos run way too long and I have no video editing software to fix that problem. I say go for a video. if it becomes a little too long I have no problem fast-forwarding the video up a...

ATTENTION: This challenge will be judged primarily on technique first and then on design. I understand how hard this technique is, and so long as you follow the rules it will be accepted as an entry. I will specify in the survey that this is based on technique first and then design. I've had...

A tall and skinny mold. Judiraz, I found it so funny your bed and the doors (bathroom???) are set up exactly like my bedroom. My bed and those double doors lead straight to my bathroom in the exact same fashion. So funny. Your leg however is not funny. I am so sorry. I had surgery on my...

oh gosh, I'm so sorry judiraz! I miss the part where you noticed no ts molds and said as such! Sorry!!!

Judiraz, that's perfect! I want to ask if you're using a TS mold. It is hard to tell in pictures whether or not you are using a TS mold, but one of the challenge rules is to use a standard loaf mold. Just thought I'd throw that out there, and it is spot on btw!

This is the official entry thread for April's challenge. Please do not post comments or compliments on this thread. If you wish to comment you may do so on the original challenge thread. Please post at least one picture of your cut bars mirrored open to look like a butterfly. This is the...

great, I just wanted to be sure that you understood which obviously you do. There's a big process of doing things differently with cold process soap making to turn it into melt and pour soap. I personally recommend a very simple recipe that is not colored and has no fragrance for cold process...

You cant turn a standard cp soap into a mp soap, if that's what your asking. From your wording, and you being new, I wanted to throw out there also that you don't directly mix lye crystals into oils. If you already know this I am so sorry, it was just from your wording and I wanted to be sure...

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the challenge. I love seeing everyone's attempts, previous or current. Thank you everyone for trying this out.

I would also recommend Camden grey for eos if you dont want a 100$ minimum. Theirs is only 20$ i think. Both are quality suppliers, at least I've heard good things about nda and know for a fact camden is good.

That sounds dreadful!!!! I'll say a special prayer for you and continue you in my thoughts. I. Am. So. Sorry!!!!!! Sounds awful, but hopefully you'll recover fast. Please keep us posted!!!

Beautiful soap, but sorry you cut it wrong! For those running out of batter, I always make more batter than called for and wind up with 1-2 extra soaps I pour into round silicone molds. That way I am not short changed. The bb 1lb mold states the mold holds 20 oz completely filled to the top, but...

most of the time when i make this swirl, I have a side that appears like this photo. If you have a side that looks like this, this is the way you should cut it.

Lol, serene beat me to it!

Went to their site. Very confusing to call it a pure eo then in the description state it's a blend. Almost misleading. Product Description Pure Honeysuckle Essential Oil Important Note: This is a synthetic Honeysuckle essential oil blend. That makes it great for soap and lotion...

To clarify my mold is 2.75 inches tall

Sorry, here!!! It looks a little shallow. I'd tilt more by a tad, or fill the base slightly higher than the corner. Eyeball it, if it appears shallow do a little more or try it slightly taller on the tilt.
