I too am new. Just made my first batch last week. Now that the soap is out of the mold, formulate another recipe and go again. Find a combination that you think you will like. Use soapcalc.net and mess with the ingredients and percentages. Check the graph for the characteristics you desire. I...

Thinking the same thing. Either way, I avoid it at all costs.

Check out her YouTube channel. She's great.

So last week I made my first batch of soap. I used BB Cold Water FO. 1.5oz for 2 pound batch. How the heck do I get the smell out of the silicone? I scrubbed and scrubbed. Right now its soaking in soapy hot water. Im ready to make another batch but a little apprehensive about using this mode...

I think there is a soap shop in Peddlers Village. Was in the area last week but the guy I ride with were not willing to go soap shopping.

Thank you.

The really cool thing about soap making is we have to deal with so many variables. Yes, stick blending will accelerate trace. Yes water content will. Yes fragrance oils will. Yes the ingredients will have an effect on trace as well. Good luck and keep having fun.

I used soapcalc.net. I wanted to make sure the batter stayed fluid long enough for me to make the pour, so I went for a high water percentage. 38% of oil. I could have discounted water and not forced gel via CPOP. I really didn't need need to force gel with a black and white swirl. Am I on the...

I just cut (2 minutes ago) my first batch of soap I have ever made. Lard 30% Olive 35 Coconut 25 Avocado 5 Caster 5 My first soap please be kind. The white (TD) is loaded with glycerin rivers. Ill have to figure out what I did wrong.

I just purchased the BB 12" tall and skinny. Its been 9 days and it still hasn't shipped. I'm a very handy guy so building wood molds shouldn't an issue.

Wow, the Nurture Soap molds are expensive. $85 vs $20 at Bramble Berry.

Do you wrap the soap in towels to insulate it?

I am totally new to this but for me, I would rather have less. (Divide) I would hate to have a batch that's to aggressive. And not be able to use it.

I am still waiting on my supplies from Bramble Berry, but that's another story. So this is what I made tonight. Its a wire soap cutter.

Looks like you have learned something. Well done. That soap looks great.

That's amazing work. I also like Lisa from I dream in soap. So talented it boggles my mind.

Thank you for the help. Cool to see a Jersey soaper. Stay safe.

Did you use the Armour Lard? I picked up a container last night from Walmart. Not sure if its the right stuff to use.

This is amazing. Sounds like you have made a lot of soap. So.. with all your experience, you are confident on using this? Lard 65% Olive Oil 15% Coconut Oil 15% Castor Oil 5% Can I use Armour Lard from my local Walmart? Thank you..

Snottiness? I'm thinking that's something I don't want in my soap. I guess I shouldn't be married to any one recipe. And since its inexpensive, why not. Thank you.
