Best slicing technique to keep layered colours in tact?

[kyliecoast]

I have made a loaf soap with 3 colours and the middle layer is a black strip in between two yellow/amber layers.

When I slice the loaf, how do I do it so that the black doesn't smear down into the yellow? Does anyone have any special techniques or tools or will it just work nicely?

Thanks

Make sure you don't cut too soon and lay the log on its side. A wire cheese cutter usually leave minimal drag marks.

Very nice! I too turn them on their sides and cut when I have a pencil line.
