I tried a mantra swirl for the first time today, following instructions from I Dream in Soap's YouTube channel.
I used WSP's Bergamot and Mandarin. I split, colored, and scented the batter at emulsion. This FO is known to be slow, even decelerating for some according to reviews on the WSP website. I think I soaped too hot, because it moved very fast for me. I had to push the soap into the mold, no pouring. When I pulled the dividers, the colors stood on their own with gaps between. I'm really impressed that the swirl worked at all!
I'm pleased with my first attempt. It smells nice, too.
