    How long have you been soaping? Or Happy Soap-A-Versary to me

    Congratulations on your anniversary!! The best addiction ever. I started in April 2012. My first was scented with Gurjun Balsam EO with paprika in a silicone cake mold. The paprika was too red and halo-ed and it looked a bit like measles haha. What great memories, thanks for taking me back...

    Is this soda ash??

    Yes this is soda ash, but it's not too bad actually! Your CPOPing and steaming probably helped that. ETA: When you cut it, of course make sure the dots do not continue down through the soap. If so, it could possibly be lye heavy. But to me from these pics it looks like minor soda ash, and...

    Anyone know a really good lemon EO or FO?

    Lemon Slices FO from AHRE is nice and "lemon-y" and less sweet/more tart than lemongrass or litsea EOs, quite strong so be careful, but it will fade over time like all citrus. No D, but as far as A, I've only used it in blends for citrus or lemon lavender soap (really popular), so I can't say...

    Does anybody like unscented soap?

    It's not extremely popular for sales as others have said, but I personally LOVE using unscented, uncolored soap. As a soapmaker, I find it so satisfying to use it in its "purest" form, and it makes me focus on the recipe and quality when I'm using it, which I find really stimulating and...

    shaving soap - bubble "staying power"

    Re: 10% Vegetable Glycerin - How to calculate? I'm a little confused about this too. It said to use 10% PPO of glycerin, so if you had 32 oz of oils, wouldn't you use 6.4 oz of glycerin? Is it 10% of total oils or 10% PPO? Can anyone shed some light on this please? Can't wait to try my...
