I made the CP soap below using charcoal to colour but noticed as I cut it that the black was all over my hands. It's the first time I've used charcoal and I'm wondering, will it produce black bubbles and lather even after a few weeks cure?

Shouldn't get black lather - surprised it was on your hands. I use at or just over 1 tsp. PPO for a nice black and grey (and white of course!) if that helps any.
Good job!!
