EDIT**** I DON'T have plans on selling. Just noticed that typo. Now I'll go back and read everyone's replies. lol. I hope noone misunderstood me :oops:

So...I've noticed the trend recently going toward uber-sized highly decorated soaps. What i was wondering is...for all you soap-sellers out there, is this your personal preference, or is it more for your customers? Whenever I do start making soap I have plans on selling, I'm just...

Thanks fragola! that sort of summed it all up. It's a shame, though because I think it would be lovely to be able to add some clear CP elements to soap.

So, I have already posted a handful of posts in the CP Forum and received many gracious replies :). My name is Keri and I've 'thought' about making CP soap for a looooong time. Never got around to it, and now, I'm getting the itch again. A combination of the time and money (as it is for...

Is it possible? If not, can you make your own glycerin (clear) soap? I tried looking this up, but either i seriously failed at my google search (also searched here), or there's not much info about this. So, can you make your own CP clear soap, and/or can you make your own clear glycerin...

Well, I don't really know anything, so you can just p-shaw my response (lol), but will you have a ventilation system?

@ fragola...yes that is exactly more the look I was hoping cold be accomplished by rebatching :). I am guessing you just get that by first grating very finely, and 'melting' it as much as you can? @carebear--Ok, so let me make sure I understand. A home soaper cannot actually 'mill' soap...

Are these all the same thing? And...is there a way to get a really smooth triple/french milled soap from your own cold process soap? All the tutorials I've seen end up with a 'chunky' texture from the grated soap. This isn't necessarily unattractive, but is it possible to get a super smooth...

Thanks everyone for your help! Definitely answered my question, but now I have another one. lol. Time for another thread :)

I'm having a hard time visualizing too..but that's because I'm spatially visually challenged. lol. Thanks for sharing!

I have an idea in my head...something that would mean that i would have to be able to pour my soap into a mold, then be able to let it harden, do another couple of things, and then have more, pourable CP soap left after the first part had hardened. So, how would one go about this? Can you...

Very interesting topic. Irishlass...could you show pictures of how you cut/insert the mylar/silicone? How do you do it so that there are no spaces at the edges? This makes me wonder too... is there something undesirable about no-liner molds? Like the plastic, or acrylic ones?

haha..no, I'm not trying to steal anyone's secret sauce. Really, just a question out of curiosity. The reason I asked is because I always wonder why people don't just make 100% shea butter soap, and figured there must be other things out there people consider just as or more luxurious than...

I am curious what everyone's favorite luxury soap or recipe is. what makes it luxurious to you? As a newbie..well, let's just say pre-newbie (until i actually make some darn soap) lol...i dream about making a shea butter soap, but i read a lot about olive oil soaps being really nice.

Well, that certainly is very sad. Thank you everyone for sharing.

Again, I don't know what else you'll be expanding to, but if it's something that includes fabric maybe something like: Plush, Pampered, & Posh. either one could have a neat logo with like 2 (or 3) layered P's.

Pampered & Posh? What other items will you be expanding to?

Hi, Thanks for the welcome! I remember being really interested in his round log mold...it had some sort of special 'ejection' system, and his cutters looked awesome! Thanks for the recommendations!

Hi everyone :). I just registered today. I'm someone who has always wanted to make soap (someday i i will :wink: ), have tons of books, read a lot about it on the internet, but alas...have never started. Happy to be here though! :) P.S. Does anyone know where TOG soap molds/cutters are...
