Who uses the little scrap pieces of soap from their batches longggg before the 4-6 week cure time


i just...cant wait that long to at least try what i've made XD
 
Me, I try the scrapes at 24 hours or so. After a week or two, I'll start using them regularly.

I do pretty much this. A small litter scrap will find its way beside the sink, then, a week or two later,an entire end piece will move its way slowly towards the shower XD
 
I had a small piece from the edge and I'm using it now that I cut three days ago, it made my hands feel SO soft that I fell in love!. It does vanish faster but it's worth it lol. They just better hurry up and cure already!
 
Yep Always, the skinny end pieces off the log, usually make their way to my bathroom pretty quick.

I do zap test though.
first i sniff it - mmmm that smells divine, then i poke tongue out for zap test - all clear, ur coming with me, lol.:angel:
 
I am getting better at waiting. I use to try them at a week or two but now usually at 3-4 weeks I will try it at the sink, 5-6 weeks if I like it I will move it to the shower. Once I realized how different it was with 4 or more weeks cure time I started waiting longer just to make sure I don't get "tight hands" which I hate.
 
Ha ha ha I think we all do that. I don't even wait to do a zap test anymore. I know it's still a bit caustic but hey I'm using under water!! I don't recommend it if you have any cuts however (ask me how I know...) it will sting. I do of course try little slivers of it after it doesn't zap as well, all the time really. One day, four days, one week etc etc. I love my soap slivers. Boy reading this over it sounds like I have some weird disorder!!
