Hey Buddies, we're clocking in almost 11 months. Tried mine this morning and it seemed nice, was looking to see if I could detect any of the slime factor that people are always talking about. The lather was a little slick but didn't feel at all how I would describe slime. How bout you guys?
 
I tried my bastille (w/green clay and 5% castor) about 2 months ago, and was pretty pleasantly surprised. Mild, creamy and not slimy. First impression is that it's a keeper!

A couple of my pure castile with no subs/no additives developed a few dos sometime this summer, but it doesn't seem to be going rampant. It's the only soap I have with this "condition" yet it doesn't freak me out. I guess because I know what's in it and where it came from 8) By the time this puppy is aged a whole year, anyone will be lucky if I share it. I'm curious if they'll mention the spots. Both batches were made on the same day, and stored in the same plastic bin. Both had a good water discount and were hard as a rock after unmolding in 24 hours. They feel so light, like they would float, but I have never attempted that.
