Ive used molds from Milky Way. They have a lot of small bar molds...really cute shapes. Other than that I am a rustic look...nothing even...sigh.What sort of mold do you use for guest soaps? I want to make small soaps and tried cutting my larger bars but always end up with some uneven cuts-waste. Very frustrating.
I am not seven, but below is one of my molds I have used for guest size soaps. I originally bought it to make soap for my SIL when she was talking about turning their Colorado house into an Air B'n'B.What sort of mold do you use for guest soaps?

Wait, you stamp soaps with a Mallet? Could you post a pic? or do you mean you hit the soap stamp with the mallet?Tried out my new mallet for stamping my soaps. OMG, it works so much better than what I was using before. I found a teardrop mallet at Harbor Fleet that is perfect for me. The weight & balance are just what I was looking for, although I would have preferred a shorter handle, but it works exactly as I wanted when I stamped soaps this morning. Now I can take that make-shift rubber-banded rubber cover off my little (also perfectly balance & weighted for me, but not for stamping) ball peen hammer and put it back in my tool box.
Also ordered a planer like IrishLass uses. I've been wanting one for about 2 or 3 years & finally just broke down & bought it. Hubby helped me look for something similar yesterday, but no one, not even him, understood what I was talking about. None of the big box stores seem to carry any really specialized wood working tools, so I have never been able to find one and yesterday decided it's not worth the search when I already know where to get one thanks to IrishLass. So I ordered it from Lee Valley. When it arrives, I'll probably be beveling up a storm!
The latter.Wait, you stamp soaps with a Mallet? Could you post a pic? or do you mean you hit the soap stamp with the mallet?
Hey TAS, we haven’t met. Welcome back to the obsession. Make some soap. Let’s have fun.I have infused shea butter with the, now rare, Amber Resin, and hope to be able to gather up my energy to make some soap. Send happy soap vibes - been outta the soap loop for too long. Rusty as all get out but still loving my craft.
