    Need advice from the left handed people

    Workshop Heritage has a single wire left handed soap cutter in 3 sizes. I got mine from there and it is absolutely perfect. Also, I try to get all my tools in the left handed orientation because I am a lefty through and through so when I buy tools on Etsy, I inquire with the seller if I can get...

    Finally Made my First Soap!

    Oh my! I didn’t know I could put it back in the oven after it’s been out and cooled. So what I understand from you is that if I ever do have a soap that has a partial gel ring in the center, I can just pop it back in the oven for a couple of hours and it’ll complete the gel phase? Thanks so much...

    Finally Made my First Soap!

    I made the cut!!!! Wasn’t sure if to post it here as a continuous thread but it made more sense to me than starting a new one. I’m happy with the outcome.

    Finally Made my First Soap!

    I have been doing my homework for a few months and I have finally made my first soap batch! I’m excited to cut into it in a day or two. I made 2 loaves of soap. I decided to try gelling one loaf in the oven. I heated the oven to 170F, turned it off and put the first loaf in the oven. I am...

    I Dream In Soap!

    The idea of making soap started as more of a fun idea, as I enjoy creating with my hands no matter how it comes out (mind you, I’m not very great but that doesn’t ever stop me). Just like I learned to make my fabulous chapsticks in 2019, in December 2020, I decided I wanted to start making soap...
