Soap buddies.....

[Mindyw86]

Since I am new to soaping and read the everything soap making book. In it the author talks about finding a soaping buddy, near or far that u can gab about your soaping with. Anyways, I was wondering how many of you have found a close soaping buddy to share your experiences with through this forum. Wether it be emails, pm, phone or even in person?
I live in a very rural area and honesty don't have many friends and my mom and sister I'm sure don't wanna hear about my soaping ups and downs all the time! Lol

I'm game.

I've got a few.

Where do you live, maybe someone here lives close by.

I don't have any & finding this forum was a g-dsend. I can ask questions AND get inspiration for new soaps and just see what's going on in the soaping world. Thanks you, one and all!!!!!

OMGosh, just noticed I've become a senior member today! How totally cool is that? Reckon this is my year to be a "senior," since I'll be 65 in July. :smile: I'd love a soap buddy, or 2 or 3. One thing I forgot to mention before is, sometimes questions I didn't even know I had, get answered. We live pretty rural, in a lake community 10hrs North of Toronto. I've been here 11yrs and became a dual-citizen in 2009. I'm from the great State of North Carolina.

Yay for your senior member! NC is beautiful, you are a long way from home. I was born in MN but have been here most of my life. I really hope to move back to MN one day!

In the St Louis homebrew club, St Louis Brews we had a Homebrew hotline. If a new brewer had a problem they would call a more experienced brewer to talk to. Just a thought.

I know this is an old post, but I am in Southern Ontario, but have family in the North, and would love to correspond with you about our soap making experiences.
I corresponded with a lady,when I first started, and it was really nice.
I do not sell my soaps, and find most people are not really interested in the finer points of the actual production.
Take care
:wave:

I'm in south east Washington
I'm pretty sure every one on this forum that lives in this state is closer to the coast.
My only soap buddies are this forum. -.- every one around here does MP and every time I try to talk to them its like I'm speaking a foreign language or they don't understand why I have any troubles or do all the research I do.... not talking smack about MP soapers as a whole. Just the ones here... I'd love a local CP buddy

I feel ya. I took a 'how to run a successful soap business' class recently. She asked the class what type of process we where thinking of using. I was the only one that was going to do CP. Everyone else was doing M&P. And when I asked her process, she said M&P as well. She gave this "Are you nuts?" kinda look, and said "I do some CP as a special order. Otherwise I wouldn't touch it."
I was shocked and floored. I know M&P is handmade, but IMO it kinda looks like cheating.


I wanna soap buddy as well *POUT*. NY, at least the lower part of the state, is very competitive.

I see this forum as a whole bunch of soap buddies. I am inspired, challenged, and learn from all the wonderful people here. I am honored to be here and call the people here my friends.

I know we all love this forum and the people here, this is truly an amazing group! It is also nice to see others that would love to have a local soaping buddy or like myself just a few to keep more in touch with and to share your experiences with!

This is the most helpful, kind, and supportive group and I appreciate every one of you
