    Took another stab at an oatmeal-turmeric soap

    Storing Cured Soap

    Do y'all have any strong feelings or advice on storing soap after cure? Open air but covered? shrink-wrapped? What's the best preservation method to preserve bar integrity and fragrance without promoting DOS?

    I think I’ve over-complicated my soap

    I seem to be struggling to get the desired colors in my soap, and I’m beginning to understand why so many professional sappers just make good, simple soap without all the fancy colors,and swirls. My last few master batches of oil have included some really nice ingredients like jojoba and hemp...

    New Acrylic Soap Bevel

    Here’s a couple of bars I made over the past few months using a makeshift slab mold and my mock-up slab cutter. Frankly they came out so wonky that I considered them “for home use only.” Enter my new bevel and the nice square edges and smooth planes. Game changer. $20 well spent. I have noticed...

    Cleaned up logo

    I wanted to give a shout out to Vistaprint. I paid $10 for 30 minutes of design time. They actually spent over an hour and didn’t even charge me. They cleaned up my logo considerably—both the design and resolution. What do you think?

    Maroon and Gray

    I live in a part of the US where (American) football rivalries are a way of life. I shared that I made my tiger stripes for Auburn University in my home state. Well, I work with a ton of Mississippi State fans, and they are demanding “equal time.” My challenge is their school colors..thus the...

    Subscription Soap....Is it time?

    Have any of you guys tried "subscription" services whereby you send our a certain number of bars and/or other products on a regular basis for an annual fee? It's crazy popular for other products---at least with my wife. :rolleyes:No, seriously, she does enjoy a couple of them for cosmetics, and...

    Shipping (out) cost.

    I just paid USPS over $5 to mail 2 5oz bars from MS to AL with minimal packaging—mylar shipping envelope and 2 pieces of card stock.. Is that reasonable? Is there a cheaper method?

    Frozen Aloe Vera

    I'm going to try soaping with AV for liquid above my lye 50/50. Can I freeze any leftover for future use?

    olive oil vs olive oil pomace

    What's the difference in the two from a soaping perspective? They seem to identical in values.

    Oil-to-mold calculations for translucent soap

    I'm hoping to work on my first translucent bars tomorrow. The recipe I'm adapting calls for a 1 to 2 ratio of oils to solvents. It's a very interesting "quick" method from lovinsoap.com that the author calls "hot cold-process."...

    Daryl’s First-Evah Shave Soaps...

    ...also my first attempt at hot process soaping. The YouTubes were honestly SO helpful. My process was text-book in every phase “mashed potato,” “applesauce,” “glue.” I knew what to expect at each step along the way.
