This swirl turned out pretty. This is my 3rd batch I have colored.

I use more olive oil because it is cheaper too. But in the long run I guess I waste money.

I have been botching batches for a year now :) so yes pretty new to it all.

What is a good percent of olive oil to use 30%? What else can I combine with it to get a really nice bar?

After not being happy with several batches of soap (spending way too much money on products) I have finally ordered 2 lb mold.

Yes I did because at that point I only had a 36 bar mold from brambleberry.

The bars have cured 4 weeks. They are really slimy when they get wet. What did I do wrong?

I make goat milk soap with coconut Shea palm almond and olive oil. I tried a colorant for the first time tonight. It was awful. It was from tkb in a small dropper bottle. It didn't mix in well at all. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to colorants. What should I use?

How do you get your edges so nicely beveled? I use a 36 bar mold from brambleberry. I am a beginner soap maker. I bevel mine with a potato peeler :)

What does it mean to zap test?
