My first salt bars. (4th soaps ever) After all the warnings on not waiting too long to cut, I totally cut too early. But they smell good at least! So, if your salt bar is still as soft as this, wait...

Oh no. You can smooth those out after they've hardened. It's way better to cut too early than too late, with a salt bar. Too late and they crumble into bits. I think these look great!
 
I don't see what you see. They look wonderful, and I much MUCH prefer those over crazily colored bars, and you should be very proud of them.

What is it you don't like about them? All I see is perfect bars of soaps with a very pretty swirl... *shrugs*

Thank you for the kind words! The ones NOT in the pic are bad. But, as they are for me anyway...who really cares what they look like.

I do have to say they have lightened enen further to a very nice creamy white and i have certainly learned something!

And I will continue to drool over the gorgeous pics everyone posts. They are inspiring!
