- Some of my fragrances smelled better and more true weeks later as compared to when freshly cut.
Yep, I totally agree with you too Irish

I'm embarrassed to say......15. Nine of those are goat milk.
debsmad said:So, let's say you're still trying to find your perfect recipe and you know you'll need to tweak things until you get there....do you use your soap early to get an idea how it is, and make a new batch with adjustments right away, test early again?
Or do you just make a few slightly different batches and see which one comes out best, and go from there?
debsmad said:I'm finding this initial waiting process excruciatingly frustrating. I'm pretty confident that my first batches are not going to be my perfect recipe, ya know? Once I get it narrowed down to something I'm happy with this waiting won't be such a bother. But now....being new.....I just want to make this, make that, make more of this AND that, and it's stupid because I don't know if it's going to produce what I want. Anybody following my nattering? lol
