I didn't add a lot of coffee, I didn't even use full strength, I steeped coffee grounds and I believe I used 2 ounces? Maybe 3? I mixed it with water into my lye solution.

Thank you.

I zap tested them, and I didn't get any zap? I didn't really feel anything besides a slightly mild tingle for a second or two...

Ok, so the first one was the natural with green and red swirls, did a cpop, and it set up a little quick, so because it was my first batch I got flustered and forgot the fragrance. OH WELL. :) Second batch is for my husband, a dupe of drakkar noir with kaolin clay and activated charcoal. I...

My Shipment of supplies just arrived!! Whoohooo!! Can't wait to soap tonight!

It's literally the perfect size for say heart toppers, etc. If they had more than one, I would have bought more!
