I've tried three different peelers and have a planer/beveler, but I also end up with uneven edges. I've beveled fresh cut soap, a few days old soap and up to two weeks old soap...same results. I just can't seem to get it right. I've also tried to just smooth the edges with a damp cloth, but haven't had much luck with that either
Yeah, when I told my husband I wanted to get it, he blanched a bit at the price, but I just glanced over to the bass cabinet sitting in the living room and he quieted down. Mind you, the reason why we have a bass cabinet in the living room is because we also have a bass cabinet in the bedroom. There is also a bass cabinet at his friend dp's house and another set up at ab's house and he sold another rig about five years ago. I didn't mind all the music equipment when he was playing on a regular basis, but his disability doesn't allow him to play more than a few hours a couple of times a month and I would at least like to have the one in the living room gone.
She gets her stuff locally. What she pays pennies for over there, we pay a lot of dollars for here. I have a couple of small stamps...learned after the first one just to order and then forget that you ordered so it will be a surprise when it shows up in your mailbox.
I'll make sure to let everyone know. I'll need to make some soap though, been awhile.
She uses FedEx and I think it takes 4 to 6 days plus customs.
I hope this person is not a friend, because I wasn't very impressed with how difficult it was to navigate the website. If I hadn't found Yvonne's Beveler already, this would be one that I would definitely look at (difficult website aside), but two of the features that I like about Yvonne's is 1) the soap scraps are contained within its own box so minimal mess and clean up, and 2) the little tray that you set your soap in and slide...as easy as using a soap cutter.
Do I NEED a beveler?
