Yes but ya gotta love that alliteration!Mixed metaphor. (English Major here). That would be Saponification "Metamorphosis". "Shuffle" would be appropriate if they were playing cards or dancing (as in"Shuffle Off to Buffalo"
Unappreciative, clearly.i dorkily blurted out “that’s an award winning soap!” His reaction: “oh.”
I think it was the bar on the lower right.

It was “ Hardwood Musk” from California Candle Supply .- I used it because it sets up fast and I wanted that for the base. It’s a tad cologne-y for my taste.
The colorants were chromium oxide, charcoal, and titanium dioxide, in varying amounts. I had mixed them for a challenge here, on SMF, and had some left over.
Same - I only use it in mixes. It's divine at 30% or less when mixed with their Plumeria (shout out to @cmzaha for recommending that). It has also mixed well with violet, vanilla, and sandalwood FOs.
Fall is done and dropped!I'm exhausted an its just the beginning of the season. Here is the rest of the fall line L-R Tobacco & Bay Leaf, Blazing Bonfire, Flannel dupe, Cranberry & Orange
OK, after 3 fantastic posts of beautiful soaps, I am inspired to play with my new pillar mold and pull through discs!Today I had a farmers market and was selling some soap that won the soap challenge club last January - it was one of these four bars. The buyer bought some other soap too but liked this one because it had a “man scent.” Said nothing about the design. i dorkily blurted out “that’s an award winning soap!” His reaction: “oh.”

That’s good to know - i was thinking I had a bunch left but I managed to use this one up.
Zing, I know things have been tough for you at work. Wishing you all the best with your new career adventure - and, no doubt, your new legion of soap and lotion bar fans!My tangentially soapy thang I did was make a batch of cocoa butter lotion bars. I will be on a lotion bar and lip balm making streak this week. At my job, I have resigned (and accepted another position) and given my notice. I want to give my beloved coworkers little tokens of appreciation. There's a whole mess of them in 3 buildings so I'll be a little busy.... Tomorrow I can "work from home" and my definition of that includes taking care of my staff and coworkers.
...very clever. Awesome soaps too! 
I just did some batches of comparison soap with RBO. It really made the batter more yellow than my usual canola or olive. I was making Test 1, Pko vs CO. Test 2, Pko with Shea vs CO with Shea. Other oils which stayed the same for all 4 batches were PO and RBO.
Oh, too bad! It's super pretty!
That has only happened once to me, when I used waaaay more gold-in-oil than previously. The trick for me is to use just enough that it still shows after the oil has absorbed into the soap, but not so much that it comes off on my hands. Since I'm terrible about keeping notes for that type of embellishment, I don't have any advice to offer about amounts or ratios. Sorry!
I gave the chopstick swirl two more tries. I'm also trying out new FOs I got when I was in the USA this summer. The first one is Life Lessons by Frangrance Buddy, and the second one is Persephone, a new fragrance by Micas & More.It's been AGES since I've posted, but I'm still a faithful reader of the forum.

I used Fragrance Buddy's White Tea & Ginger (recommended on the forum), and I really love it! I think the results of this swirl far outweigh the effort - my kind of swirl!
