Hi everyone! I just learned how to make soap two months ago. I'm so excited to be a part of this.
Sammycakes said:I make cold process. I've been wanting to do this for years but I was too chicken to try it on my own. So when I had the good fortune of finding a soap making class in my area, I jumped on it. Made my first batch on Christmas Eve and it turned out so well! I literally think about soap everyday. Thanks guys for the warm welcome!

You're so lucky to have found a class. There isn't any soap related activities near where I live. I kept reading books and posts on the forum until I got up the nerve to try it. Of course, I had a lot of help from people on this forum. I doubt I would have started if they hadn't been encouraging me.
Hi Hazel! My first batch was a dream. The bars had a really nice texture or "grain" and the lather was pretty standard. I would say it's kind of creamy. The scent was lacking though because I was really stingy with the essential oils. (A jasmine and sandalwood blend) I guess I was afraid of them smelling too strong. I'll post photos in the gallery. I'll be making some more soap this week!Hazel said:How does your first batch feel? Does it have nice lather? Most importantly, are you planning your next batch? :wink:
