I use the LCP only the opaque because Australia doesn't get the clear until the end of June we are a bit backwards here in relation to soap supplies.
I find it great ,some find it a little drying but l always add oils to it and l have never had this problem.

I bought some of both from Brambleberry. The clear looks and cuts exactly like
any other I have used. The white has a different "feel". It breaks as it is cut,
but makes up nice, has good suds & holds scent well. It didn't sweat here during
our very wet spring. Other MP does. I don't have hot and humid weather
here in northern CA. Our summers are dry.

I usually buy Wisteria Lane's hard as milled soap and LOVE it! I live in TN and it is soooo humid here. I have had some of it for more than 6 months and it was just in an open ended bag with no problems. I went to re order and they use Fed ex ground so my 50lb box was going to cost $49.00 to mail. So, I just ordered from Wholesalesuppliesplus.com. I read the reviews and it looks like the Ultra white and pro glycerin soaps are hard and low sweat...I'll let ya know. If you are ordering a small amount I would definitely recommend the Wisteria Lane!

I have used Bramble Berry's LCP white base. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and not meant to offend anyone at BB, but I don't really care for it. I understand that M/P hs certain limitations by its very nature.
True to it's name, it doesn't sweat - even in my super-steamy (my, that sounds dirty...
) bathroom. However, it does have a strange feel to me - not exactly 'slimey' - but for lack of a better description, it feels a bit greasy to the touch. Even a good long sit on the drying rack doesn't change this. It also has a VERY pronounced smell on its own - in my finished bars, I can still smell it even when I use a high concentration of EO/FO. It's not a BAD smell per se, but it turns me off. It's one of the reasons I moved from M/P to CP.
YMMV

From www.sficcorp.com - they are local to me and I can pick it up or have it delivered.
Lots of suppliers use their MP (Brambleberry, Wisteria Lane, TKB Trading) but you have to buy 250 lbs at a time.

Re: lcp
how long will all that soap stay good? I know someone on this forum told me that she only keeps her base around for 3 months and then will order new. I was just wondering because it might take me 9 months to use 250 pounds of soap but it sure is a great price and would lower my over all cost. How long is too long?
