Black and white beer soap

[terminatortoo]

I really like how this came out and I am very surprised that the white part of the soap is the natural color of the beer, usually it is brown so I will be using the same brand again when I want a white color, now if I could make my black really black and not gray.

Very nice I know what you mean about getting a true black...... I always think its black til sap then I realize I got gray.............. Again

Wow, love the swirl. What do you use for your black? I use either activated charcoal or black oxide. I can get a really black black...sometimes too black.

That's really lovely!

I use black oxide and my soap gets plenty black. Charcoal tended to give me slate gray.

Use the oxide sparingly or you will get black suds!

I am using charcoal and it always turns gray I need to buy be some black oxide. Any suggestions on the best place to get some?

Nice swirls! I always get black with black oxide, but I might add that I've never tried to do a black bar (only swirls) because of the mess it would make on a washcloth.

I know you were hoping for a different color, but I still think it looks good. Your swirls are very nice too!

I am using charcoal and it always turns gray

I put in my soap charcoal and green clay and the result is 100% black.
1 tablespoon of charcoal and 1 tablespoon of clay per pound.

Interesting! I'm going to experiment with this. Thanks

Love your swirls! That's interesting about the beer part being the white!
