    Great value on soap cutters!

    I recently ordered a 1" soap cutter from Ernie from Cedar Mountain Crafts on Etsy, and I just had to tell you how pleased I am with it! It comes complete with cutting blade, cutting box & loaf support and shipping is FREE! ($35 complete) The workmanship is superb and the blade cuts thru soap...

    individual dome bars (half-round)

    :confused: someone was looking for these a while back? finally found them! the brand is "life of the party" and usually carried by hobby lobby, Michael's & joann's...tough to find anymore...perfect size for a woman's hand and wonderful for salt bars...very easy to wrap with a cigar...

    walmart carries hi-oleic sunflower oil now

    unfortunately, they don't label it that way, so here's a link...scroll down about half way on the right hand side, just write down the info on HOSFO and take it to the store next time you go shopping...sometimes they have 2 or 3 brands and I've found they were all...

    OM&H whipped soap...nothin' fancy

    I love this method of soaping because it gives me all the time in the world, even with "drama queen" f/o's. this is a milky way plastic mold, and in order for it to come out in one piece I have found that using mineral oil to completely coat the mold and FORCING GEL afterwards gives nice...

    easy (and cheap) web-store & blog

    sometimes I think i'm just "computer impaired" and it took a lot of nerve to finally choose a site and launch an estore...I just can't say enough good things about weebly.com 1. wonderful support, easy instructions and easy site construction...it just couldn't be simpler...basically just drag...

    nothin' fancy, confetti soap

    i'm trying to figure out how to post pics, and since the subject came up about using scraps of left over soapies, I thought i'd share...this is black raspberry vanilla by www.soapsupplies.net, which is heavenly @ 1 oz ppo...leftover rose f/o gratings, which made a very nice smelling bar! these...

    i love my new edger/beveler!

    i have been using this for the past several months and am VERY pleased with results! i have found with most bevelers that they take way too much soap away. this one just gives a soft rounded edge and has 2 sizes of cutters. when i unmold my soap logs, before cutting, i run this along all...
