Thank you Cosmo....

Here it is cut. There is one more piece that is just one row.

I've used a straight (I have an antique one) and it was okay but those look really scary!

Thank you KristaY - I cut it today I will take pictures tomorrow...

Thank you Soapcakes....

I'm a baker too but I know, especially in small batches how important it is to measure correctly as it is easier to ruin a small batch that is not weighed properly because your room for error is far less than if it was a larger batch.

One piece of advice with regards to wholesale. Do not take on more orders at the same time that you can handle. I did that and it was the most stressful of my life. It was terrible and I did lose a couple of clients over it.

That much in free oils will not be friendly to the lather plus it will increase the SF something terrible. The Super Cream is not the same thing as the superfat, the super cream is to increase the density of the lather rather than increase the oil content.

You're welcome :D

I am thrilled that you like it and that you were able to get it to work for you.

I grate the soap and then moisturize the grated soap then microwave in short burst until smooth. Once smooth and fluid enough to pour I add the fragrance. Voila scented soap ready to go to my customer. Little more time consuming than having them pick from the soaps available but I'm known for...

It all depends on how much water you added. If you are wanting to do a sugar scrub with this then you keep adding sugar until it doesn't melt. Same if you wanted to make a salt scrub.

Thank you I love it....

Thank you everyone :) Aline is it really easy to use both getting the soap in and getting it back out. I was thrilled.
