I can attest - when Pyrex shatters because of heat - It is razor sharp!. I put an empty measuring cup on my glass top stove once, and didn't check that the burned had been on. When I lifted it by the handle, it shattered instantly. Fortunately it all stayed on the stovetop, but, each piece...

I ended up selecting sample sizes instead of a single, larger one. I chose Anarchy, Seven Isles, and Temptation. I am hoping one will be unisex enough that my parents and my kids will like it for Christmas. It will most likely be a late present, but, the thought will be there!

I finally made my choices. My selections include Proud Peacock, bronze brown, savage garden, dark navy and copper penny, all in jars. I got a sample bag of nocturnal in case I needed to darken either the copper or bronze a little. I saw the tobacco caramel by Future Primitive Soap Co./ Tiggy...

@Justcallmewillie, I hear what you are saying. Personally, I either tend to be long winded or too brief. I am almost always misunderstood. As a consequence, I tend not to put myself out there. Your willingness to put it out there helped me grow. If nothing else, I felt I had to step off the...

Thank you all for your input on jars vs bags. I did consider the mess of the transfer to jar, and I do see the corralling of colors as an issue. The messiness is another concern, and like the idea of being able to stack them neatly. I like to have things neat and accessible, so this helps...

I hope you stay in the conversation. I know it can feel like you are getting the short end of the deal, but, I saw different views - which I thought you were asking for. Some were to make sure you were cautious, some were to try to better understand what you were saying, and some brought up...

I had Anarchy in my cart and am now rethinking it because of this thread. I even decided to check the fragrance Oil review to see if there was anything there... I am going to read through this one again and see how I feel about my choice.

Carly B - why do you prefer jars? I was thinking about getting the bags and transferring to jars, but, if it really is a question on extreme messiness each time you open a bag, I may just reconsider and choose jars from the get go.

I've never purchased a lid. Originally I didn't understand why I would want it, then I couldn't justify the additional cost. I could always find something around the house, or stack another mold on top whenever it was needed. I wouldn't be able to wait for them to come back in stock, either.

I understand the need for something more scientific - I used to do medical research, and taught high school science. I understand the need for slightly more information about saponification. The problem is how far is far enough? I really enjoy organic chemistry, but, that doesn't mean I can...

Does that mean the Scientific Soapmaking book is also available? If So, add that to my list, please

Silver Please Thank you!!!

Interested in Coconut Oil, the cuisinart blender, the measuring cups and the mini mixer. Thank you!

Is there an update on what is still available (if anything)? I see the guide and spatulas have been gone for a while...
