Nice work !

If ever you are looking for a book, you can try to find it here : http://www.abebooks.com/books/Bookstores/ I had Failor's "Making Transparent and Natural Liquid Soaps" for $8.25, shipping included from USA to Canada. No custom fees.

Dottie : what you heard is true. I calculated the lye used in her (Melinda Coss) recipes and she has a heavy hand on lye. Sometimes really too much ! Alib, look at that site : http://www.millersoap.com/ It is full of very good informations. Better than some books, sometimes.

This is such a charming and well done job ! I would not be patient enough to make that ! ... but I feel to try ! Thank you for your explanations.

I think that one has to be experimented before stopping the use of thermometer (?) I use it and once that my thermo. was broken, I did ok because I know how it "feels" when the lye/oils are ready. Some people soap at a bit high temperature (mostly the soaps with milk and/or sugar or honey)...

Please, could you explain me how you do your milled soap and what is the advantage you see. This is something I have never done. (and thank you for your so interesting an full of human colours post)

Thank you Jezzy. I will google to see what it looks like. I went to Munich and Stuttgart but that's all. Do you sell your soaps in Germany ?

Congratulations ! You make a very wonderful job. Original, good colours and shapes. Truly unique. I like it !

I think that cp beer soap is as good as hp. I made it hp because I found this tutorial funny and used it : http://www.natural-skincare-made-easy.o ... -soap.html

Hey girl, you are in Germany !!! Mein got, lucky you are. Are you in Berlin ? I have been very often in Berlin since the last 10 years and I met a girl who was working, and had her workshop in a big soap and beauty product store. I asked her where she was buying her honey f.o. and we realized...

That's something I had not done either but I made my beer soap with cold and hot process soap (oven) and it went very well ! When you have done yours, please tell us about it ok ? I'm interested.

Good luck, Jezzy. You will like it. Will you cp or cphp ?

There is sugar in the beer. You have to leave it becoming flat and evaporate the alchool. I am just back from a market sale and had new things. I must tell you that people did not like the idea of a "beer soap" at all.... I did not sell very much, but it was mostly to guys. On my side, I...
