Some of the benifits to this type of soap are no temperature measurements, no trace, all ingredients are chilled cold. No since of urgency when mixing and coloring. No gelling, No insulating the mold.
this batch took 24 hours before I could unmold it.

this is a small batch, only 20oz. but it made 12 bars. here are the solf and hard oils:
