I made a bar of soap that cut and did not crumble! I probably cut a bit too soon.. But I prefer too soon over too late! And it's such a cute colour because of the honey I added to the lye water. Adding honey to lye water does crazy things! It turned bright orange and then dark brown (the same colour as the honey).
So I used my recipe:
OO: 60%
CO: 20%
Shea Butter: 10%
Cocoa Butter: 10%
Superfatted at 5%
Hardness: 37
Cleansing: 13
Conditioning: 60
Bubbly: 13
Creamy: 23
Iodine: 63
INS: 142
Immersion blenders are amazing.. I was able to reach trace in like 10 minutes.. I didn't want to overdo it my first time and make it a super duper thick trace or add too much craziness..
I'm hoping the bar is amazzzzzing once it cures! If not.. At least I have timing the cut down a bit better! I poked it this morning at 12 hours and it was a bit squishy. I'm going with the squish test from here on out (unless it's a bad idea?)
Anyway! I just wanted to share this success, perhaps minor.. It's a big one for me. Those two fail loaves had me feeling a little defeated! lol.
