Back to basics

That looks great! I want to eat that LOL. Vanilla ice cream bars yummm (good thing you don't scent it a foodie flavor)

They looks great, nice and white. I'm making mine today and I decided to grind my poppy seeds. Did you gel yours? I don't normally gel but I will this time, I'm hoping for a some what translucent bar.

I didn't do anything so I was expecting a partial gel to be honest. When I make this using HP it seems less white, so that would suggest that gelled would be less white-white

TEG, I love your soap.

Alpine Lavender (I mix pine and lavender together!) to scent it.

What beautiful soap! I never thought of mixing pine and lavender. What ratio did you use? 1:1?

 

[The Efficacious Gentleman]

Thank you. My pine is a bit strong so I go for around 1:2 ratio so that the lavender can shine more.

Thank you for this. I, too, like Obsidian, might try to make this soap. You have started a trend!

I did not know that your baby was born. I missed the announcement. Is it a boy or a girl? Congratulations anyway. The sleepless nights are worth it, you'll see.

A wee chap - he was born on 9th July, so he is not quite 3 months old. When he smiles, it makes the constant exhaustion headache worth it!
