1st Batch of Soap!

[akajoos]

My husband and made our first batch of soap last night! Just pulled them out of the molds about a half hour ago and I think they look pretty good. They still seem a little harsh though. And pretty soft so we'll see what curing does to them.




I love the color of them.

First batch - Yeah!! Looks good! They will seem a little harsh at least for a few more days. Even then you probably still won't like them as much as you will in 4-6 weeks. I don't try my soaps for the first time for at least 2 -3 weeks after unmolding.

Very nice! Love all the bubbles and the stars are pretty! Love love love white!

Looks great! Is there a special reason for the stars? Pretty.

Looks great! So how much tallow did you use in the end?

akajoos,

What kind of mold did you use for the stars? I'm asking because I have a couple ice cube trays I picked up at Walmart the other day that have that kind of tapered edge. I wasn't planning to use them as a mold because I figured the soap would never come out without having to dig them out.

They look great and sure have a nice bubble factor..Nice work!!!

I try mine as soon as it's unmolded. Just on my hands and arms, though.

The soap looks really nice!
