Seventh Batch

[GuacamoleSalad]

Made my first soap with both colorants and fragrance, and also my first hanger swirl. Seventh batch ever. Will show it when I cut it no matter how weird it looks!

I've cut it while it was still soft, which I think is the source of the lines on the ridges. I'll take a correction if you're seeing something else in that though.

The color palette is great and I'm a sucker for the crinkle cutter. I want to get one eventually.

Thank you! The red is still a bit of a conundrum: it looks more pink than I want, and I wonder if it's because it didn't gel. But I'm still so new that everything's an experiment, so really ... who cares? I was just trying for some kind of look that complements a sandalwood smell.

@GuacamoleSalad are you cleaning your blade before each cut? You could try spraying your blade with alcohol before cutting and see if it makes a difference.

No, I wasn't. Thank you. That's a terrific suggestion.
