Beautiful soap, it really looks like an abstract painting. Perfect example of functional art.

I've made my first tallow soaps about 3 weeks ago, and I was very impressed with my soap. It also stayed at light trace for a long time, which is very nice if you want to make swirls. The soap got hard fast in the mold, did not gel, I could cut it the next day, and the soap is now very hard to...

I love your soap, the swirls are beautiful

I am so happy for you that you have found the problem!

I just want to peek in to say to all the participants: Your soaps are gorgeous!! I love what you did, it looks amazing.

I LOVE fragrances and fragrance oils, so I am happy for you that you have found the perfect fragrances. I use to order FO's from the US (The Scent Works was my go-go supplier), but with escalating courier costs, and our weakening currency, it is not economically possible anymore :-( But I still...

I'm so sorry that happened, the soap would have been really gorgeous. Is there no way you can still save this?

Lucky Fish!! Enjoy your haul in fragrance heaven.

This is a very nice tip, thank you.

I work at room temperature at home, so it is hotter in summer and cooler in winter, but I live in South Africa where we have really mild winters, so I always soap between 20 - 30 degrees Celsius. I think it is also advisable, if you live in a humid environment, so install a dehumidifyer.

Beautiful soap! I love the sprig of lavender on your purple soap!

I've read here on the forum that soaps with a high percentage of olive oils can get slimy/sludgy in the shower, so maybe lower your concentration of olive oil? A tip I have to keep your soaps harder for longer, is to have two or more soaps in the shower. So you use one today, take it out to dry...
