Salt Bar - Powder vs. Fine vs. Coarse?

[seven8soap]

I've used disolved salt in soap making and it rusted my stick blender. I would want to make a whole round of salt soaps if I were to try it again.

:cry: It would take us 7 lifetimes to use all that salt LOL. Hubby hates salt, so I never cook with it. I've had a Himalayan salt grinder for 5 years from Costco that isn't even half empty.

But...I went to a local bulk store this afternoon and picked up some fine sea salt, and I can now say I've made my first batch of CP soap in 12 years. It stayed pretty easy to pour, and I used these molds. Finished pouring it about an hour ago and it feels pretty firm right now. Definitely not a rock yet.

Maybe I'll use the Himalayan on my feet :think:

I don't use a lot of salt myself. I think scrub is a good idea though.
