Hello neighbor.

Welcome! As I am sure you noticed when you were lurking, there is lots of great information and a sense of community where people are willing to guide you. There is a great sticky in the beginner thread about searching the forum that you can find almost anything you are looking for.

I look forward to seeing some of your soaps!

Thank you!

Oh definitely. I made full use of everything I could find and will continue to do so.

I will have to post some pics soon. I have a few at the moment I can share. Activated charcoal has been my go-to recipe lately.

"Thixotropic"?

Isn't that a Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie standard? Like "Ornithology"?

Hello there Alex. Welcome to the forum.

Yay! New nerdy soap person! I can already tell that I'm going to be looking forward to your posts and experiments.

A warm welcome from another recent arrival!

But I feel I really ought to warn you: soapmaking is like highlining a powerful drug, once you get into it, you're losing sleep thinking about whether to make a salt soap tomorrow, why today's batch went that strange colour, how on earth you can get hold of bear tallow*...

... well I wasn't thinking about bear tallow before but gosh darnit I am now thanks!

Hi Alex and welcome!

Hello there Alex. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

So many wonderful people. Hello all!

"Thixotropic"?

Isn't that a Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie standard? Like "Ornithology"?

Or perhaps a Vangelis album title also.

Welcome to the forum, Alex....and to your new addiction!

I'm familiar with your posts and you have guided me across new ground more than once. Thank you for the warm welcome and useful info.

I regularly bite off more than I can chew so I will make sure I share it with the community.

The most exotic oil I've used is in my daily charcoal bar: Tamanu Oil. Bear Tallow sounds a touch like "Unobtainium" to me.
