And this is where the questions start. Why does one person only get DOS on soaps they make with lard, and the next has never had a lard soap with DOS. Or conversely with vegetable oils. Far be it from me to question Dunn, but looking at his tests and using his olive oil example. My castile...

Looking at the orange bottle of colorant you had, I'm going to take a guess and say you wouldn't mind a orange soap. :) The more you use that closer to an orange it will be. Some people like soy oil in their soap as well. Didn't you say you could find castor oil? Might try something like a...

I'd be happy to help, though I can't say I've had much trouble with DOS. For the record, the only two soaps I had DOS on were back when I was soaping 15 years ago. Both had lard in the recipes. I've been back into the madness that is soaping now for over a year, and haven't had any problems, but...

, my permanent residence,

You know Craig, I love discussing things with people like you, because you don't get offended by differing opinions. I think that brings a lot to this board. /salute I see what you're saying, but you have to admit, wet shavers are a "different" group of people. :) Just calling it a shaving...

Loaf pic and cut bars, as requested. I made this batch with no colorants, since I was noticing lately that the "out of the mold" colors seemed a lot different since I switched oil suppliers. The base has more of a green tint at unmolding, yet fades out to a nuetral beige after a few days...

In this instance, with the oil in Question being solidified Coconut Oil, or Liquified Coconut oil. Yes, you can use the same number of grams.

Ok, I'm going to go against the grain here and put in my opinions. I think at times, we all can be a little too generic in our advice. It doesn't mean that all the advice you were given isn't sound, but it fails to take into account your abilities and experience with other things that lend...

Definitely the salt bars. My favorite to use is a 75% CO, 12% Avocado, 8% Mango Butter, 5% Castor, 50% salt to Oil, 60% coconut milk. Fragrance is a beach scent I blend out of EO's.

become half-way coherent,

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to get shopping here pretty soon.

I made a tall and skinny mold. Then had to make a soap in it, for scientific purposes, really :) So I made one of my oatmeal soaps.

Just out of the oven.

hahahaha. You know on my Merry Christmas thread, where I mentioned and the good belly laugh? Prime example right there. Thanks snappy. :)

haha, that's great. About 3 years older and it probably would have been run on steam power. 8-) If it works though, I bet it holds up well. I found a stick blender in the cupboard about six months ago that has to be at least 15 years old. Forgot I had it. Pulled it out and have been using it...

Yeap, looks like a salt soap! Another good thing about salt bars. If you like the taste of salt, zap testing all of a sudden isn't that bad. haha Great job.

Have a great Birthday Daryl.
