I masterbatched x 4 last weekend. Interestingly, I batched with ZERO super fat and plan to add it at the time of production, so I can choose which super fat I want to use.

Please name them “Kryptonite!” They look great.

How did you get the spirulina so quickly? That looks great.

Wow. Such A creative technique and use of tools. Beautiful finished soap. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. I'm hoping the cure will lighten the grey a bit, but that's likely just wishful thinking.

Packaged and sold every single shave soap I have as Father’s Day gifts in about 30 minutes. The boxes I ordered fit perfectly for the soap, brush and a lagniappe bar of sandalwood, goat’s milk soap that I never intended to sell anyway.

Meh. I’m ambivalent. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/attachments/4cf56e4f-9916-4a77-a2be-76daac337fcc-jpeg.39298/?temp_hash=a93fe06e689982bb630ff36be3a9d1e6

I live in Mississippi. We generally have “summer” from April - November.

Maroon, it appears to me, is likely a combo of red, black and a tiny bit of blue. I used 3 parts brick red oxide, 1/2 part black oxide and 1/2 part blue ultramarine, but I don't think it got dark enough to be considered maroon. I'll find out when I cut it tonight. I attempted a side-swirl...

I love this. Don't change a thing. :nonono: It looks like wood grain....maybe white birch or white-washed pine. Actually, it reminds me of cypress, which I use in a lot of furniture building. The black walnut powder looks awesome, but I wonder now abrasive it might be in use. I admit, this...

Wow. I’m looking back at all the entries, so far. They are all so different and good. I’m humbled to be in such soapy esteem. Great job.

Whoa...looks like a watercolor painting. Great job!

I wanted to give a shout out to Vistaprint. I paid $10 for 30 minutes of design time. They actually spent over an hour and didn’t even charge me. They cleaned up my logo considerably—both the design and resolution. What do you think?

I’m not worried about bleed between colors, but onto washcloths and red suds.
