I took the leap into CP soaping last night. It went so smoothly and was a lot of fun. Took it out of the mold tonight and it was the perfect texture for cutting and trimming. It looks so nice! A very nice yellow/beige color, reminds me of beeswax. I didn't witness any gelling in the mold, but going by the way it looks, it could have. Here are pictures!
