I made four loaves of soap on Friday (two “First Snow” and two “We Three Kings”) I usually cut between 12 and 24 hours but I didn’t cut them until today (Sunday evening) so 48 hours later.
They weren’t too hard to cut, although the edges did end up a bit rough (which is fine because I bevel my soaps) but the weird thing is the texture. It’s almost grainy looking. And my We Three Kings soap (which contains 2% myrrh essential oil) has spots that look like myrrh eo.
Is this a fail? The First Snow looks a bit grainy as well but doesn’t have eo spots.
(The picture of two soaps is the newest batch on the left and a batch I made a couple weeks ago on the right, the other picture is of the eo spot.)
