Cp is usable well before the end of the cure - depending on your definition of 'usable'.
Safe - when it stops zapping. For cp, it can be between 24 to 72 hours depending on if it was cooled or not. For hp it's when it is finished cooking
Ready for use - technically, once it is safe. But all soaps need a cure. A hp soap can be used directly from the slow cooker, but it won't be very good.
I give all of my soaps a 4 week cure before anyone else uses them. I usually try an end piece at two weeks. I find that my hp bars need more of a cure than cp, most likely because of the water
