I can't remember IF it was on here or another forum but someone posted a pic of their soap cutter that I loved! It was sooo nice. I made me one today and now all I need is a quitar string to hook to it and the little board you hold to cut it with. My husband held it in place when I got to the...

I have just finished grating my soap that's several weeks old. I want to rebatch it so I can put some good oils in it to make a really nice soap that will help my very dry skin. I only had like 6 nice bars of plain soap that was cured to use for this batch. Haven't weighed it yet but am...

I have noticed a few recipes with beeswax in them. Where do you get it? Is it the same as the Gulf Wax you can with or make candles with. It's called paraffin wax.

I thought I would share some of my soap pix with you all. I sure appreciate all your help! I can't remember if I posted the first ones on here or not. My memory is horrible these days. I made a batch of the blended lard soap from Kathy Millers recipe on Sat. Well hubby and I made it. I think...

My sister and I got together again today and made some more soap. My batch was coffee soap with infused olive oil with the rosemary in it. She made some with ground up oatmeal and vanilla poundcake fragrance oil. I've never bought fragrance oil before, only essential oil and Walmart had this...

I was just wondering if you can grate the soap and when you start melting it, can you add other oils or shortenings? I want a soap that is VERY oily for this dry skin of mine. If I grate it and then I want to add some shea butter or some castor oil or olive oil to the grated soap when it's...

I'm still new at this and not sure on how to go about this. (I have made 2 batches of soap so far) I was watching a video online and she used these oils, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, castor oil, shea butter, and sunflower oil. I know enough to know that coconut oil dries out your skin if...

wanted to share this link with some of you. A friend just sent it to me because she knows I love Victorian things. They have such pretty ways of packaging their soaps and I figured some of you that sell your soap might get some ideas from them. http://www.romanticvictorianhome.com/st ...

Yep still trying to figure out something about our soap making a couple weeks ago. I couldn't sleep last night so I got up and read some in the Soapmakers companion and something she said in there about unsaturated and saturated got me to thinking. So I started making some notes. The 1st batch...

I am trying to see IF I am understanding this..... I have a recipe here that calls for 18 oz. olive oil 6 oz. crisco (which I put in soybean oil in calc.) 9 oz. coconut oil the recipe calls for 4.5 oz. lye but the calc. says to use 4.66 oz. if I am understanding this right. Math WAS NOT my...

I don't know how to do the pics on here. But hope this works.:) This is our first and second batch. My sister and I got together and made this. It's cp and it's oatmeal rosemary mint and the other one is just plain cp. I cut some of it thick and some of it thin so we could see which one we like...

I haven't made a batch yet but am going to really soon. I've got everything together now that I need and I have a couple questions. I want to use some fresh rosemary in it along with some mint. This will be cold process soap that I want to make. It's vegetable shortening, coconut oil, and olive...

I wanted to make my soap today and the weather is saying we're in for some snow and we don't usually get that here. They're saying up to 8" and if that happens we may lose our power. What I am wondering is this. They say wrap the soap after you pour it in a quilt so it will slowly cool off. If...

I am a little confused and didn't know WHERE to ask this question. So I am posting it here and hope it's in the right place. I keep seeing melt and pour soap, cold process soap, or pressed not sure which. Do you actually have to press some of the soaps into the molds or can you pour all...

Hi, I'm Rose, and I'm here in South Ms. where it's a little chilly at the moment. I've never made soap. But have got all my items to try and make some. :) Am soooo excited! I have been reading for 2-3 weeks now everything I can get my hands on about the subject. A couple weeks back I...
