I have read through so many posts and comments here that I can't remember where I read this, but someone told a beginning soaper that they should really test their soap at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, ect... so that they can get a feel for the changes and how much better it gets. Well last week was week one for my first batch which was50% lard, 30% olive oil, 15% coconut oil, and 5% castor oil. I first zap tested and no jolt, so then I tested it in the shower and was impressed with the lather and soap overall. This week, I used the same sliver and tested again and wow, I love this soap. It lathers nicely and just leaves my skin feeling really good. So, my question is can it really get that much better in the next two to four weeks? (I am "testing" with the edge of one corner that fell off when I unmolded)
