You know pictures are mandatory, right Rusti? (Honestly, we can't wait to see how it comes out so we can celebrate or commiserate with you!)

Also, seeing your pics helps give us our soap fix...

 

[Rusti]

Yes, I'll post pictures when it's cut, I promise.

Pictures!

I think I might have got in a hurry, they were still just a little sticky when cut, but here they are!

Very pretty! I like the color. Nicely done.

Those are beautiful!! You have a knack for this Rusti!

Okay, I have to complain though...my lard (usually 65%) soap are NEVER ready to cut at 24 hours. I'm luck if they are at 36 and if I'm smart I give them 2 days.

Susie, do you gel yours? (I don't)

That is gorgeous! I love it.

Thank you!

Regarding the cutting, it probably wouldn't have hurt to have left it until tomorrow after work, but I didn't.

Wow nice looking soaps! That's some good looking swirls. You can wash all those cut marks away later if you want to, but they also disappear with first use

Rusti-those are beautiful!

lenarenee-yes, I gel every time.

As advised, I made the recipe in the first post for comparison to last weekend's batch. It's wrapped up and sitting. This one I used WSP's Freesia dupe and will be black and pink (with some glitter on top. Cuz we likes glitter).

I am so glad that of four batches so far now that all of the fragrance oils I've picked out behave properly as their feedback said. I suspect that had I run into issues the very first time I might have had reservations about making even a second batch, let alone a fourth!
