Well as some of you may know, I have made my first somewhat real batch of soap. The soap I made is a coffee soap, which turned out great. It looks good enough to eat, literally, I gave it to my dad and hadn't told him it was soap yet and he tried to take a little tiny piece of it to eat it. I also had my oldest stepson use it in the shower once and warned him that it is very abrasive.
The only reason I had him try it was because he was caked in who knows what. His arms were completely black and he couldn't scrape it off with his finger nail even. He said he'd been working on exhaust all day. Well he looked it. So he said he will give my coffee soap a whirl and came back up to show me. His arms were sparkling clean. He said that he only had to use his old spice stuff to do his hands and get between his fingers, but that his arms were all done with coffee soap. Then asked "Is it OK if I keep that bar down in my shower?"
I think that recipe is a keeper. I think the only things I will try different are...
* Do a triple or quadruple brew (I did double for this one)
* Use the ground coffee that is in the coffee filter and not fresh ground coffee from the bag. My theory on this is that after being brewed 3-4 times, the coffee grounds in the filter may be a little softer approach.
So here is the teaser part. I got some nice pictures I took and I was going to post them this morning, but then at the last second my wife decided that she had to do something with MY camera today...lol Good thing I love her so much. So I will post pics tonight for you all to see.
