This is the first year I have made Christmas Soaps...and it will also be the last given that every one of them accelerated on me. At first I thought maybe there was something wrong with my Master Batches (oils/butters), lye solution) or my soaping temperature, but all my non-Christmas soaps behaved as they usually did. So I'm thinking that it's probably what @KiwiMoose and @AliOop said...'spicy' notes of the FO...and I do have a recipe that 60% Hard Oils and soap at lower temps.Is it just this years FO that is misbehaving for you @TheGecko or do you notice this every year?
