Etsy Soap Planer?

[AAShillito]

I've got 12 batches of soap in various timetables of curing( not counting all my salt bar/brine bars oopsies ). Will probably have at least 12 more as I refine stuff for xmas and hopefully selling next year. Is a planer in general or this specific planer if someone has it, worth saving up for? You know, to spruce things up before wrapping? Thanks! (And I have done a search here but not tons of info.)

Worth saving up for: I would say, YES!
I just received this exact planer, and it's pretty fantastic. While this IS my first and only planer, I decided to purchase after reading this thread and following up with the OP, who eventually bought the same. Planer and Beveler - updated recommendations?

I had no idea what I was missing all these years. This SMF place is a bad influence.

Oh that's awesome! I wonder if it's too lame to ask for for Mothers DayMy poor hubby asked if I was ever going to stop making soap. After I was cussing in the kitchen today over a brine soap I'm trying to get good at. I told him it's very important to make it all the time bc I'm trying to learn and gave him a beer.

I agree with yes! While not necessary to make soap, it makes the soap look so nice. And professional when selling.

I bought that one about a year ago and I love it. It works beautifully. I would definitely save up as it’s worth it.

I'm so excited to see real positive reviews from soapers here! Tbh you never know if all the online reviews for stuff are "real". I'm gonna ask hubby if he wants me to pick out my Mothers Day gift

I bought a cheap one like that on Amazon and love it! But then I dropped it and broke the thin side of the box. So I’m adding this one to my wishlist! Looks pretty solid & well made! Thanks!
