So excited - my first soap is ready today!

[dmcgee5034]

I am soooo excited today!!! Today my first batch is FINALLY ready to try! That was the longest 6 weeks of my life - lol. I have been dying to see how any of my batches came out, as you can imagine. I used a bar tonight for the very first time, and I loved it! Woo Hoo! I have 2 friends that are each getting a bar tomorrow with a QR code to a surverymonkey to give me their honest feedback.

I think my next batches look better, I put this loaf in the freezer overnight because of the goat milk. Now I only do a few hours in the fridge so I haven’t gotten the center ring again. And my hokey-pokey labeling is just for my friends - I’m clearly not ready to think about selling anything. So here are a few pics of Batch 1 - my very first ever CP Soap (GM).

(Someone let me know If a post like this belongs somewhere or not at all. I am just so jazzed I wanted to share.)

Yay! It looks great and I'm sure they will love it.

Congratulations and nicely done! The QR code is a great idea. In the future, you can use the photo gallery thread so your soap photos will be easy for everyone to find.

Truly amazing soap for a first batch! Well done! Keep up the good work!

Seriously, your first?! Great job. And the hack for hating to wait is to soap every week so that something is always ready to use!

What Zing said! Also, feel free to try out the soap during the cure period. It is fun to see how it changes over time.
