Holla everyone,

Canadian soaping newbie here (I've dabbled in a total of exactly 2 batches to date), but despite my lack of exposure I'm already officially obsessed! I legitimately spent pretty much all of my free time throughout the Christmas break reading anything and everything soap-related that I could get my hands on. That said, I've got a 2-year old at home so free time is somewhat limited. :)

This forum is an amazing source of information and one day I hope to be able to contribute to the wealth of knowledge here rather than just benefit from it.

Cheers!

Yes, yes, 5 batches and hooked! Wondering if they have a Soapers Anonymous? I think I have a problem! Over 2 dozen bars curing and I can't help but want to make more!!!! OMG!!! Aw heck... I sure can think of worse addictions!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
 
Hello,

I am new as well. Maybe 14 batches to date...
Also a fellow from the great white north.
Totally addicted, so much That I am considering the soaping retreat in Greece with “Soap the world” ...crazy right!
I am now experimenting with countertop fluid hot process, and loving it so far.
 
Thank you for the warm welcome!

HA HA HA! I'll be right there with you! I almost hope it gets a bit boring or half my pay will be spent on oils!

I can think of worse reasons to visit Greece - especially if the retreat occurs... oh, anytime between October and June. ;)

Oh wow! There you are, StormyK. I just joined a month or so ago and love the banter & info I’ve gotten from SMForum.
One major pile of advise for you; safety goggles!
After 3 different types I found Amazons UVEX to allow full view and comfortable, good price.

Oh yeah... I have more oils than Carter has liver pills!!! Going to the grocery store is dangerous now. And holy CATS!!!! Costco is like oil heaven!!!! Big ol' bottle of Avocado oil, 2 huge jugs of olive oil!!! Should have bought the industrial sized coconut oil... Sigh... Costco does not sell shortening or lard though. Maybe a good thing?

FYI if you have Aldi's in Canada... much cheaper priced grapeseed oil!!!!
