Now we have a challenge! I never had this type of happy accident so I don't know any "right" or verified solution. Based on common sense you can try with something like this: Make lye water one more time with proper amount of NaOH/KOH but in Lye:Water ratio 1. Calculate how many grams of excess...

@Jeboz Love your roses! How do you make them? Lovley spring soaps . Salt bars turns out pretty good after shaving :) They can be very tricky, so as others have mentioned, individual molds are far better option.

Salt bars for exfoliating properties are my favourites. I also use pumice, ground coffe, poppy seeds, corundum, aronia seeds, walnut husk powder, nigella sativa seeds and raspberry/strawberry/elderberry seeds. In every exfoliating soap I up superfat a little bit (2 -5%). I don't like anything...

Someone asked about cutter in the commnets below video and soapmaker anwsered that this cutter is no longer available. You can find something similar on alliexpres here but I don't even want to think about shipping costs and duty. Also I am a little bit concerned about quality of this kind of...

@Chris_S Maybe try to find sites with equipment for candle making? There is someting like suppliesforcandles.co.uk and they have rapeseed wax. I can't say anything about them and their products because I did't order anything from them. Now I can see @LilyJo answer and hers suggestions are far...

Looks like an abstract painting!

Definitely as a condition factor. Soap can be quite hard even with higer procentage of coconut oil, but it will be better with some cacoa or shea butter :)

I definitely see sparkles on those little bees. Beautiful bars. This will be my first attempt in this forum section. So today I beveled my solesaife bars. They are a little bit brittle so not everything went perfect. Colored with pink clay and cacao powder.

Loaf come out smooht and quickly even without lining. Very satisfying video, I watched it ten times in a row :)

@Clarice I can only relate with you :) @redhead1226 Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Even though I have been making soaps for six years, I have only few soaps older than one year. I need to try maturate them a littel bit longer. As far I have only one expeirence in the subject of...

@hungryhawaiian Wow! They look so profesional! Very neat job. This mold looks so hudge. When you will make a soap loaf, can you post its weight? We are waiting for the news from first run experience!

That was not fair! Taking money from your card without order confirmation... it's a big no-no. I didn't have this problem, maybe because I pay with paypal and they need to send me new payment notification with a URL if they want to see any money. That is dissapointing. I will not recommend...

They need to calculate shipping charges individually when shipping will be outside Japan. In my case total cost (cutter, mitre box with shipping to Poland) was 6 826 JPY or 56 euro or 63,3 $. I was also temptet by this acrylic molds, so I understand you perfectly :) @dibbles Tatsiana's cutters...

Try to put soap cutter in their search bar.
