Hello from sunny southwest Florida! I have made exactly 2 batches of soap, one hot process and one cold process. Both were ugly, so hoping to get tips here so I can make "gift worthy" stuff.
 
Welcome to the forum. My first soaps were not very pretty. Don't give up. The more you practice, the better you will get.:nodding:
