Ugh. I'm so sorry :( I hope that they will either send a replacement or return your money on it.
I have not even heard back from anyone yet. I guess I will have to be the squeeky wheel that gets oiled. I will NOT be had!
 
Yay for refunds! Did you order the cutter from Bud yet?
I sure did, the same night i got the other one. I have currently 9 soap logs in need of cutting, the oldest being over 3 weeks :wtf: which brings me to this question... does anyone know if soap cures at the same rate when its in a log form vs. cut bars? I figure they would DRY faster being cut of course but what about the cure time? I wonder if that will be affected because by the time I actually get those cut, they will be a month old lol! I figure they will be ready to use by then but im thinking i will let them sit a while longer before trying to sell...
 
I am so glad to hear that you are getting a refund on your cutter and that the person was apologetic for giving you something you couldn't use. I wish I had an answer for your question about cure times. I would think that it would take longer to cure as a log also, but I am really not sure... hmmm :problem:

Thanks! i forgive him now since he was so nice. i think i have to wait longer too. I did cut into a 3 week old log and it was quite soft still in the center. I will cure them longer just to make sure they are hard and have time to develop a nice rich lather. it's amazing the difference in lather and hardness it makes when they are allowed to cure for over 4 weeks. I find the best results are when bars are cured for 5 to 6 weeks and longer. I used to think that 3 to 4 weeks was plenty (because i was impatient) but now I consider those babies still... 6 weeks at least for me now, otherwise people wont be seeing the true potential of a perfectly "ripe' bar of soap lol! call me weird.
 
I am pretty impatient, but right now I have enough soap around the apartment, that I have plenty to experiment with and figure out how long I want to cure it for after some testing with the soap that I have here :)
 
When I ordered from Bud I got my cutter in shorter time than was posted. Hope you get as lucky. I love my cutter from him. Very sturdy and easy to clean too. Bud is the best.
He IS the best! we are lucky to have him :)
 
That blows about the cutter, but yay for refunds and for a new cutter from Bud! I will be buying one from him .. someday .. first I need to buy a canopy for my farmer's markets this year :(

I have a single bar cutter from Symphony Scents. It was only $20. Works great for me, takes me 2-3 minutes to slice up a loaf of freshly made soap. It's still possible to cut a wonky bar, but it's a lot better than trying to eyeball it with a chef's knife or something.
 
I really want a guillotine cutter :( My etsy shop sales have pretty much stopped. I was going so good there for a while and it funded all my soap making endeavors. Bummer....I think the economy is catching up with the people who endulge on etsy! Everything I sell are "wants" and not "needs".
 
I am sorry to hear that your sales on Etsy have stopped :-( That has to be discouraging. I hope they pick up again for you!
 
Me too Badger, it was a nice income :) Here's the last thing I sold....I do have to restock though, I am getting pretty low and I only have one purse left (those were probably my best sellers).
