How does one get nice beveled edges like this?

Vegetable peeler.

My beveler is from Kangaroo Blue, but I don't see it on their site any longer. Wonder why...

Vegetable peeler.

I don't get it as uniform with vegetable peeler. It must be done with something else. I want to get something as well...

That's the one I have, I don't bevel often but when I do it works great.

I have this one from LotionCrafters:

http://www.lotioncrafter.com/soap_planer-beveller/

My bevels from it look exactly like the bevels on the soap in the link that SudsyKat posted.

The LotionCrafter beveler has two built-in styles (one which bevels with a more sculpted look than the other) that are also adjustable so you can make them more pronounced or less pronounced.

I haven't personally used one, but I've read that a woodworker's cornering tool makes a nice smooth rounded bevel on soaps: http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/veri ... gtool.aspx

I can't ever get an even bevel with a veggie peeler so I bought the beveler from KB.

I have those. I get nice rounded corners with them. They come in different sizes.

you can get really small wood planers at any hardware store, they're adjustable and work great! thanks to my DP (what the heck do you call a domestic partner anyway?! spouse? boyfriend [ridiculous at my age]) i have a couple. good luck!

This is what I use:

It's a cheese slicer and it works great.
