Hi everyone. My name is Josh, and I'm from Louisiana. I've been making soap for 6 or 7 months. I initially got into soap making after seeing what my wife paid for handmade soaps. I thought I could make my own and save some money (HA!). I'm a big DIY-er, and the chemistry aspect of soaping fascinates me. So I'm hooked now. I've been lurking here for a while, but have decided I had questions that I could use answered. So far, I've only made CP and the occasional HP for batches that set up too fast. I'd like to start making cream soaps and salt soap.
