pretty as always seven. The last pictures actually looks like a masquerade mask rather than butterfly for me.

Some of the soaps looks so good. If I bought 1, I won't use it, I'll just put it on display. As for MP vs CP, I think both sides has pro and cons. It's up to the customer to decide which one they want to buy.

Use acid rinse every time after you use your shampoo bar. It should take care of the residue. I don't like the ACV smell, so I use citric acid instead. It's odorless and very easy to use.

7% for me, but I lower it to 5% if I use additives like coconut milk which will up the SF anyway.

I also no longer use my thermometer when soaping, I just make sure that the lye and oil are around room temperature. It works fine ;)

Made this on Sunday, had a bad case of soda ash on top, but I like the final result after cut. It had a strange smell when I mixed the coffee and coconut oil with the lye, like the one when I made my honey soap. Something like cooked bean? No FO in it, so hopefully it will fade. I also added...

Made confetti coffee soap yesterday, gonna see if I can cut it today. Hopefully it turns out good.

There's an article somewhere saying that even though the soap has microbe/germ on it, when you use it, the bad stuffs will cling on the bubble and wash away with the water. So technically, it was safe to use. It's up to you and your icky level though. I had a 100% rice bran oil soaps with...

My first soap is 70% rice bran oil and 30% coconut oil with 7% SF. No FO. My skin is sensitive too, so it's a good simple first CP soap with minimum fuss. Lots of bubble. On the downside, I think it melted too fast in the shower. I guess it's because the high coconut oil content.

This happened to my salt bar too, even though it's only 30% co (the rest is rbo). I didn't zap test, but after i wash my hand with it, I had a slight burning sensation on my skin even after 6 weeks. I didn't know when it's stop doing that, but after 4 months the soap is great. Don't throw away...

My salt bar react the same way too, but I let it cure further. I don't know when it's stop 'tingling' or 'burning' (in my case) but at 5 months cure, it's like normal soap. No more unpleasantness, only the dreaded occasional sweating for me.

Day 1: Arrive there at afternoon, then see the Samba show at night Day 2: See the statue of Christ the Redeemer and then Sugar Loaf Mountain Day 3: See Spain vs Chile in Maracana Stadium Day 4: Go to Imperial Museum, The Petropolis Cathedral, Crystal Palace, etc Not sure if I will have a lot of...

Wow, I really love the stamp, especially the cat one :).

I'll be there on the 17-29th June and stay at the Novotel Santos Dumont in Rio de Jeneiro.

I use makeshift double boiler with oven safe glass bowl inside a bigger pot, propped so that the water didn't touch the bowl and then cover the pot and bowl with dish towel. This also works well.

Hot air expands, so make sure you let out the air once in a while if you saw your bag is getting too 'full'. I think that's why your bag splits Rowan.

I am not sure because the tour itenary is not out yet. Will let you know when I know :)

My best guess is that your soap overheats. Put them in the freezer for a while to lower the temperature.

Thank you for the input, will try to look for that :)
