First salt bar in the mold.

Well thank you for being my sole compatriot and benefactor in this.

Your salt bars look pretty good, boyago. I never thought to put them in a pringles can as a mold. With regular soap I will do that on occasion.
Good job!

That's some good lather for a salt bar.

WOW!!!! I have never had any of my salt bars have that much lather!!
I use a 50% ratio in my salt recipe.

What type of salt does everyone use? I've heard to use sea salt. Doesn't that get expensive? Would rock salt be a bad idea?

I use the generic Mediterranean sea salt from Wal mart. The Fine salt.

They will improve with time, but your recipe, in my opinion, is not going to give luscious. Not trying to hijack your thread but this pic is what you can get from a salt bar with 4-6 month age time and a different formula. This particular bar has 110% salt to oil

Well Carolyn, you've convinced me to try your recipe. My salt bar lather is close to yours but I want better. Making a 1lb batch tomorrow.

Your picture says 1000 words... So trying 90/10 co and castor next. That is some serious bubbles.

Those are from 2" PVC. I like to use those for new soaps or stuff more for hands and face. Then for body bars I like the 3". They are cheap and easy and I like the size in my hand.
