Thanx for sharing the mysteries of liquid soap making :)

I have been wondering about subbing the new crisco for palm. It's hard for me to get palm oil. paillo - In the recipe's you have subbed it what about what percentage was it? I have a recipe I love that is really low on palm, like less than 25%, that I want to try subbing.

Camel's milk! :shock: that is so kool!

I have made quite a few soaps from her website and all make great soap. I have some bars still hanging around that are more than a year old and are just recently showing signs of maybe being past their prime but no DOS. I think is also depends what you put into the soap. The ones that lasted...

I sniffed the soap today and it smells good and normal now...

I like using rebatching as a creative tool. And the soap comes out milder after I noticed. Then you can control what you add. If it's fresh soap I add 1 Tbs or 2 per pound of water or oil to the grated soap. I think working with a double boiler situation works best (I put a glass bowl onto a...

So I rechecked my recipe and it was correct (7% superfat) so it must just be the oils I used, hazelnut oil has a really low value for hardness resulting in soap jello. I scooped some out and used it, it is great! I am thinking of mixing in a liquid and some EO and use it as shower cream...

Thank you! I really do like how it looks, I even got to make little waves in the top like I have seen on other people's soap! and the bottom was shiny from the plastic mold, this stuff is really solid soap, like it won't melt away easily. I don't think anything is rancid all the oils are...

I made a batch using vege shortening and the smell was terrible! It was like soap cooking smell X 100. I did this CP just shortening, olive oil and coconut, I had never tried such a basic recipe other than canola, olive, coconut before. Made 6# and then seperated out 2# to add beer to in...

I made my masterbatch at 50% and measured out based on that. This may also be my fault for trying to calculate a recipe late at night (I had never tried soapcalc before) and not double checking it again the next day :? I will make sure to check again next time. I was fiddling with calculating...

Crisco w/palm = 4oz. Cocoa Butter = 1/2 oz. Olive Oil = 8 oz. Hazelnut Oil = 8 oz. Castor Oil = 1.5 oz. Lye = 57g Water = 228g Thanx in advance to the master soapers!

It's been awhile since I have made soap (about a year) and I am just starting up again. I made one batch last week that turned out fine and it was my first CP (I had been doing HP before). I have another batch I made last night and it is still looking like gelly. This is a 1# test batch of...

Thanx so much!! I've been wondering too.

That is really fun! It does offer some very unique options like duckfat and ostrich oil...

Oh andrea they look lovely! Thanx for the tutorial :P

do you mind if i asked what you ordered and what you thought of the quality?

I am currently pouting over not being able to soap indoors (my kitchen window won't open and won't be fixed until spring time). I started feeling a bit icky after my last batch of DHHP and so did my HB. I have never done CP but would like to, but i would have to be outside on the stoop...

Thinking of orderinga couple things from them. I have had bad experiences in the past orderign supplies so just wanted to check if there were any opinions out there. Thanx in advance :wink:

I just stumbled on this thread, i just wanted to say that is soooo kool!!
