I have bought my first cheap wooden soap planer/beveler from China on etsy. I have thought I will be able to trim a whole thin layer of soap (and remove soda ash for example). But I was only able to trim tiny scraps, never a thin sheet/larger layer of soap. It bevels edges very well, though.
So I have thought 'ok, maybe I bought the cheap one and it does not work very well' and I invested in acrylic seifenhobel from manske-shop.de. But it does not work either!
I have tried both with relatively fresh soap (1 week curing) and older ones, I have watched youtube tutorials and still I cannot trim the whole side of my soap. Is it because maybe sometimes I cannot cut the bars precisely and have curvy edges?
So please please help me with some DIY for dummies !
