ok, so it sounds like i shouldnt even bother with the Silk coconut milk then. The only reason i asked about using it is because i didnt want to waste it, but if there is a significant chance of destroying a batch, i dont want to waste my oils. So i will save this information for the next time i...

shop places like gunbroker.com, forums, etc. People will be able to help set you up with stuff. Dont buy direct from a store, that is expensive. shop it out from people who are having to sell stuff. takes longer, but thats what we did. Then also remember that some rounds are still cheaper to buy...

Ah, See! i learned something new today! Thanks for correcting me! Now i know what gelling is! :)

just reading this made me relax- your recipe already works! ha ha.

how do you get that glossy finished look on your fig? how does one use fig in soap, that sounds very interesting? Nice job by the way :)

i dont know but have seen lecithin capsules used as a thickener/glue. But i cant say that i have seen it in shaving soap.

Photography is a hobby of mine, DeeAnna and Judymoody gave some great tips. Whether or not you choose to use props, lighting is essential, and shooting from eye level like they suggested is more relate-able to the buyer. But they are cute shots :)
