I let him try it last night with the disclaimer that it won’t be at its best. He gave it 5 stars already

For my 4th batch of soap I did my first ever mechanics soap! The recipe called for pumice and walnut shells but I didn’t have any and don’t need to spend any more money so I used old dried up coffee grounds instead. I used Natures Oil citrus peel & pine FO. Man I’m in love with the scent! I’m...
