Cutting soap

[aussie soaper]

Hi I’m new to soap making but in my eyes I’ve already run into a major dilemma. The soap is cut straight but I need to trim the soap because i did not line the mould to well and its convex in the middle because i waited to long after trace pour. Do you guys have any tips to trimming etc?

Ill upload pics when ive found the camera cable

I use an electric meat or deli slicer to square up my bars and trim the rough off. Works pretty good for beveling edges too.

You from down south Aussie Soaper? Which way does the water swirl when you pull the plug out of the bath tub?

By the way I can’t seem to get the water to swirl in my toilet but according to google… google says it’s a myth :shock: ,well i never.
