I’ve used knives, flat cutters in miter boxes and out of them, and cheese slicers, trying to avoid having to pay for a multi bar cutter, but I eventually bit the bullet and bought one. And oh my lord. It used to take me forever. Wipe down the wire or blade with every cut. Measure and re-measure. Try hard to hold it steady, though invariably the wire slides or curves mid cut and my edge turn out ugly. Groan at how ugly they turned out.

Today I used my brand spanking new multi bar cutter (got a pretty acrylic one from Scott over at Custom Soap Stamps). Perfect cut. Ten slices, neat as can be. Less than a minute from unmold to laying out the slices.

Why the heck did I wait so long? I’m in love.

Congratulations on your acquisition! My husband (at the time he was still on "standby" status) made my multi-bar cutter for my birthday almost 2 years ago. He still gets an extra kiss every time I cut soap. Multibar cutters really are the best! Sometimes I can see where it is handy to have a single cutter too - but alot of the videos I watch that use a single cutter really should be using a multibar... and it drives me crazy to watch it! You would think after so many years of making soap I would have more patience, lol.
 
I have cutter envy :) I am hoping for one for Christmas :dancingsanta::dancingsanta:
 
Took me a few years before I relented and purchased a tank. The final straw was when I slipped with the knife and sliced through vessels and tendons in my hand. Every time I use my tank, I do my happy dance. Multi-bar cutters will pay for itself with the money you'll save on ER visits no doubt
 
Oh my lord, poor Debbism, that sounds horrible! o_O I'm shuddering at the thought. OUCH.
