I can't flippin' believe it

[Ephemerella]

Last night I was feeling lazy with my last batch and decided to do an au natural pour -- no mica, no fragrance, nuthin'. This morning, it was the last batch I cut and certainly was the one I was least excited about.... and it came out GORGEOUS. Like lovely waxy white slices of clouds that positively glow.

I've never seen my own soap in all its nekkedidity


I faffed and fawned over this soap all morning — carefully wiping away mica smudges from handling other soaps, stopping to admire it every time I passed by, picking it up and smelling it curiously -- it smells so nice and familiar and warm and cozy, and SIMPLE.

I am in love and can't believe all this time laboring, sweating, and fretting over FOs and colors and swirls and effects... What a treat to see pure clean soap!

I can't believe it took me this long.

I agree @Ephemerella - soooo pretty. It’s one of my favorites, too. Yours looks beautiful.

I always make GM soap, but my next plain and simple batch will be with coconut milk so my sensitive friends that want vegan soap have an option.

Beautiful soap! I agree that there is a simple elegance to a plain white soap.

There's nothing wrong with a little nekkedidity from time to time. Totally natural.

Um, the soaps in the back. Aren't bad either! The blue one is my favorite.

The ones to the right of your white bars are my favourite

I would totally snatch up a few of those if I were walking by your table at a market because of the nekkedidity! They look so pure and elegantly simple!

"The Cape of Cod" ! and other misspoken gems. Oh how I miss Radar O'Reilly!
Thanks for making my day!

And, yes, your naked lard bars are truly elegant, pure & simple.

Awww, thank you!

@Zany_in_CO I was hoping someone would appreciate a little MASH throwback! Forgot to add.... IRL my professional-life nickname is Radar I won't tell you what the personal life one is

And.... not lard... CO + OO + shea.

I was extremely pleased with the bright creamy whiteness and now see that all that dingy yellowing is due to FOs. It feels like doing the tissue paper test for tooth whiteness!

And.... not lard... CO + OO + shea.

Even better! Well done!
