Thank you my friends lsg and toxikon
Which are the good sources for buying these products? I am in the USA.
Thank you
I'd say the two big things are a stick-blender and digital food scale. I bought both of mine on Amazon. Here are the ones I use:

It's nice to have a stick-blender with a stainless steel bell, because some plastic ones can break or melt.
As for molds... the options are limitless. You can line old milk cartons with freezer paper, or buy a proper mold (wooden, silicone, plastic). Basically any box-shaped thing can become a mold as long as you line it properly. I personally like silicone molds because it's very easy to unmold your soap.
You can buy your 100% sodium hydroxide (lye) at local hardware stores or online.
Most oils you can easily just pick up at the grocery store or Walmart. Lard, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, avocado oil, etc. There are some that are trickier to find locally, like palm oil, tallow, or exotic butters.
Soapers Choice is great for buying oils in bulk, but if you're just starting out, I'd recommend just grabbing a few at the grocery store in smaller quantities to play with.
Your username makes me smile as I remember the first 007 movies.
