Looks like it’s “on” this weekend.

Yes. Sorry.

...

They do kinda resemble brain CTs now that you mention it. They are beautiful, and yes, it’s amazing how unique each bar turned out. Reminds me of funnel pours I used to do in Pringle cans back in the day. Nice work.

¡Muchas Gracias! I got to get another of these little frothers. My first one died a couple of years ago.

NO!!! Sister Anna Maria Whatever would never do that. She’s a soapy saint! #hatersgonnahate

Girl! One more percentage point and you’ll be making fried chicken!

I just refuse to say there’s anything about fat that’s “super.” I’m starting a movement of the people to call it “fat overage.”

I know, but that Soap Queen lady always says to use sweet almond oil, which I never include in by base oils. It feels like cheating to disperse colorants with base oils. SPEAKING of which...Is there some definitive source for which colorants disperse in water vs glycerin vs oil? I waste more...

I calculate at 5% but by the time I diffuse colorants in sweet almond I’m sure it ends up at 6-7% with no problems. I think at 8% you’re good.

Here’s the view from my balcony this morning in Sandestin, FL. It beautiful here! In the village on the property, there is a nice soap and bath shoppe, so of course I had to stop in and sniff around (literally). It appears to be locally owned. It was quiet, clean and well organized...no other...

I know you. It will be groundbreaking research that will forever change how soap is made. Can’t wait to see it.

I tossed the puck idea around here on the forum. In retrospect that sounds more reasonable from a sales perspective...i.e. buy my soap, but use your own scuttle. These will end up being gifts for friends — assuming they perform well, that is. If I made pucks, I was thinking about going the...

Well, sorta. I’m looking at the papaya bar here at the hotel and thinking transparent “glycerin” soap might be fun.

I bought rose kaolin clay and used it in the charcoal soap I just made. You’re right—-completely different from bentonite. I was amazed at how the bentonite changed its the EOs and or glycerin. I wish I knew which one loosened it up. I’ll have to experiment with that.

Those are gonna be nice! On the short lye, even if it sets, aren’t you afraid it could be a little oily in use? I mean that sounds like “super-duper”fatting.

Actually, I’m lounging around the pool in paradise, but the resort where we’re staying features a whole line of papaya products (transparent bath soap, cp facial soap, lotions, etc.) The brand is “Paya” I’m mot much for fruity soaps other than citrus, but I gotta say this stuff smells really...

I tried using hot water do disperse it. That made a mud pie. Then I finally mixed the mud pie it in my EOs and a little glycerin that worked great. I own a whole bag of it, so I’m using it if it harelips the Devil. I’ve read up on the clay/no clay shave controversy, but since I had the stuff I...

You bring up a good point. They are supposedly “stainless steel” but the jury is out on that. I think CP would done. A real number on them, plus if I plan to sell, I doubt many customers will be willing to pay even my cost for what is basically a single-use shave scuttle. Either they are already...
