I've made very few salt bar batches. My notes say I loved them at around 3 weeks, and REALLY loved them at 2-4 months. These were 75% Coconut, 1:1 salt to oil ratio, and 5% superfat.

I am in the midst of building a dedicated soap house/art studio. I'm a super slow builder, so it's a sloooooow process, allowing me lots of time to think and re-think. Important things for soaping, to me: - a deep sink with a sprayer head - a generous amount of counter-top space that is...

Oh, but it will, at least for a few weeks. It gives soap a sort of Graham whafer-y scent. Case in point: I made an unscented soap for someone who wanted a baby soap a while back, and, when I gave it to her a few weeks later, she said how much she liked the fragrance. The only thing in there...

Do y'all think we could just let the OP continue to post, unanswered, into oblivion, and let this stupid thread die? Let's start now: no more replies to this idiocy. Seriously. Step away from the thread.

What psfred said. Exactly that. And also: LOL, I feel like I was utterly too polite in my response. Bang on. Save

From what I can understand, the OP seems to be concerned about fitting a given volume of raw soap into a mold, and excited about the fact that if you use more water in your lye solution (40% solution vs, say 50% solution), you are going to have more total volume for a given mass of oil. That's...

I hope voicing my uneasiness is not considered "slamming" Tabitha. I don't intend to attack anyone, but I do think it is fair to air a concern if I have one. I've got no personal beef with Tabitha and I'm sure she's a great person and a fantastic SMF resource. I'm assuming that it's OK for...

And, in my opinion, it is doubly inappropriate if it comes as a sort of official "as moderator" statement, because that may, in some people's minds, give it credibility. Not cool. Oh, and sorry for the hijack, Ashley.

My middle name is Jean. I didn't really have any nickname in high school. Up until then, it was The Brain. I don't think it carried on into high school, though (although the good marks did 8) ). In case you're picturing me as a taped-glasses nerd, I was also MVP on the track team and...

Those are marvelous! I love them all, especially the sandalwood swirl one and the cucumber one.

Hi Dan. I've got no issue with someone pointing out that you haven't sold soap, if they think it's relevant. I don't personally think it is, but the relevance can be debated and may the best debater win. What stuck in my craw was the "as moderator" deal. I've got a problem with mods seeing...

You left out the square bracket on the end of that first "quote" word. Beautiful soap!! Love the swirl. What do those scents actually smell like?

Tabitha, not to be a cow or anything (and I'm sure it's just a fabulous idea for me to dis a moderator), but I find this kind of commentary to be an odd thing for a mod to do. There have been plenty of posts in this forum giving questionable opinions or advice, without being editorialized by a...

You are a funny man. And I like your soaps. That lavender one sounds great.

Maybe the winner should get a special delivery of all the ugly bars that were in contention... :lol: :lol:

OK, SMF has voted, and we've got our Final Two in our little reality show. The face-off in The Great Fug-Off final slap down is between Poop (Kitn): and Amityville Horror Salt Bar (LJA): Voting shall close sometime based on my whimsy, over the weekend.

Polls are closed. All righty, we had a bit of a horse race, but Amityville Horror wins the day. On to the Slap Down.

OK, the polls are closed. We have a landslide victory by Poop. On to the Slap Down.

Sorry I missed this, Ashley. My French is very good (but not perfect). I would change the first sentences to read: "Consulter la liste d'ingrédients avant d'ultiliser. En cas d'irritation cutanée, interrompre l'usage." The final sentence reads fine to me, except that I would add the word "par"...

It's shredded up soap that looked very much like the pink base (bottom layer) of the layered soap. Here you go: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... ght=yellow
