in my experience with M&P, it always comes out soft and I'm not exactly sure how to work with it. It holds its shape when handled but it just doesn't last as long as i'm aiming for. I've tried adding more base but no luck.
Can it be aged like lye based soap? Are there other ingredients I can add to harden it? I'm trying beeswax on my batch that's settling right now. or should I just stick to lye if I want a firm soap
